I am the editor for Grosse Pointe Patch. I've lived and worked in the Pointes for nearly eight years. My professional background has been in newspapers, where I covered courts, crime, schools and government. Before moving to the Pointes, I worked in Indiana covering crime, criminal & civil state courts and a federal district court for six years.
I have a B.S. in Journalism from Bowling Green State University. My career started as a copy editor and transitioned into reporting. I love people and that is what I enjoy most about journalism: every day I get the opportunity to meet and interview different people. Everyone has a story.
