Howdy and welcome! I am your friendly and capable Patch Orange County editor covering the following sites: Laguna Beach, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake Forest, Los Alamitos-Seal Beach and Laguna Niguel-Dana Point.
Since graduating from Cal State Long Beach in 2018, I've worked for a number of Orange County-centric publications — including The Daily Pilot and Voice of OC, where I culminated my talent and love for finding and relaying hyperlocal news to my surrounding communities. Aside from that, I love karaoke, ad-libbing and compulsive spending. I have several other hobbies that you may or may not care to know about, and a birthday that falls on July 10.
My highest priority is delivering news and knowledge that my Orange County communities should know, and if you ever have any suggestions or tips, please feel free to email them to me at: miranda.ceja@patch.com.
