A native Texan from the Dallas area, I am a journalist with a passion for the people and interests of my hometown. I graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in journalism and went on to serve as a Dow Jones News Fund copy editing intern at the Beaumont Enterprise in Beaumont, Texas.
I now serve as Patch's Field Editor for Dallas and surrounding areas. When I'm not working to bring news to the people of North Texas, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors and avidly listening to true crime podcasts.
