  • South Pasadena, CA

After studying in London and graduating from Mizzou with a degree in magazine journalism, my first post-college gig was covering entertainment news for the free daily newspaper, <i>RedEye</i>.

I went on to report for GateHouse Media, Inc. in the northwest suburbs of Chicago writing about local issues facing residents and business owners.

I came to the L.A.-area about a year ago after spearheading a social media department at a boutique PR firm. I was excited for the opportunity to work at Patch and begin my career as a digital editor.

I love meeting new people and am keen on forming relationships with everyone in the community. So please don&#39;t hesitate to say hi on Twitter, Facebook or when you see me around town.
