Biography
I grew up in Edwardsville, IL, just about 20 minutes east of St. Louis. I went to Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism just outside of Chicago.
How I came to live in Lawrence
I had a short stint in Lawrence from March to June of 2006 as part of an internship through Northwestern. After I graduated, I came back to Lawrence to work for the NewsCenter as a full-time reporter. After 2 years, I switched over to producing. Now, I work for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity as their community outreach coordinator.
Hobbies
Reading, crosswords (at least 3 a day), attempting to play golf, DVR-ing shows, keeping up on all things Lawrence.
