I have been a journalist since the summer of 2002 and am currently a graduate student at USC studying politics and investigative reporting with an emphasis on multimedia and interactive forms of storytelling. I love community news and I love the internet. I am incredibly excited to be working at Patch and look forward to spending time in the community. If you have any questions, comments, concerns or story ideas, please e mail me at marla.schevker[at]patch.com or call me at (858) 829-6340.
