I am a Local Editor at Patch, providing coverage to sites in Mentor and Mayfield-Hillcrest.
I came to Patch with six years of community journalism under my belt. My reporting background includes coverage on small and large businesses, municipalities, transit systems, health care and crime in Lake, Geauga and eastern Cuyahoga counties for The News-Herald.
When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, visiting with family, exercising, reading, listening to music and following sports with an intense set of eyes. I am also a middle school football coach in Cleveland Heights. Additionally, I'm a volunteer companion for terminally ill seniors.
