Bio:

I graduated with a masters degree in journalism from DePaul University. I fell for the journalism field when I covered the World Boxing Championships in 2007, which indirectly led to an invitation to work for the U.S. Olympic Committee at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. I was also the editor of the center spread section of The DePauliaDePaul's student-run newspaper for one year, and Editor in Chief for one year. I've earned awards in features design, in-depth reporting and news reporting for my work on The DePaulia and was honored for student achievement in DePaul's graduate program. 

I love the outdoors. I love hiking whenever possible and have run three half marathons. I love golf and waterskiing, and played soccer for a state champion team in high school and DePaul's club team for three years. I enjoy being around and/or watching all sports—and am a huge fan of the Detroit Red Wings.

I'm artsy. I love the Beatles, Elvis and Saturday Night Live, circa Mike Myers. 

Your Beliefs

At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. 

Politics

I grew up in a family of conservatives and feel I lean toward conservative economic beliefs and liberal social beliefs. I've never contributed to any political campaign.
