I have written professionally in and around Chicago since 2009. When I'm not covering the latest news in DuPage County, you can catch me performing or composing impromptu typewriter poetry at events throughout Chicago.
Writing for Patch combines two of my passions: connecting with other human beings and sharing their most meaningful stories.
