- Albany, CA
Born and raised in Mill Valley, I have spent most of my life in Marin County.
After graduating from Sacramento State with a degree in journalism, I returned home to cover sports for the Marin Independent Journal. I have since worked at several papers in Northern California, covering local sports, arts and more.
Joining Larkspur-Corte Madera Patch gives me the opportunity to return to the community I love and to help my neighbors by keeping them informed of local news. Together, we'll tell the stories that really matter to our neighborhood.
