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.
