- 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't hesitate to say hi on Twitter, Facebook or when you see me around town.
