Hey there! I'm a graduate of Louisiana State University's Manship School of Mass Communication, where I studied print journalism, business and photography. I've worked as a reporter in Baton Rouge, LA, Sacramento, CA and New York City. I'll be keeping an eye on some of Chicago's western suburbs and Oak Lawn. If you see me out and about carrying my Patch tote bag, be sure to say hello. Let me know what you'd like to see more stories about in your community. Email news tips to morgan.searles@patch.com.
