Bio: A southern California native, I grew up in the Inland Valley and moved to the San Gabriel Valley after graduating from Pomona College in 2003.
I began my writing career by contributing satirical pieces to various online publications before enrolling at the USC Annenberg School for Journalism in 2005. In 2006, I spent a summer working as a reporter at the Cape Times in Cape Town, South Africa. I graduated from the USC Annenberg School in 2007 with an M.A. in journalism and worked for the Los Angeles Times and NFL Network before signing on as a staff writer at the Pasadena Star-News in 2008. I left the Star-News in 2010 to become the editor of Monrovia Patch.
