Water Main Breaks in Beverly Glen, Streets Closed
Crews from the Department of Water and Power are at the scene, on Beverly Glen Boulevard near Sunset.
After five years (and more importantly, four winters) in Chicago, I saw the light (and the snowstorms) and moved back to Southern California. I grew up in San Diego, moved to Chicago and graduated from the Medill School of Journalism with an emphasis on newspaper and online reporting in 2010. Before Patch, I reported for the Orange County Register, Interlochen Public Radio, WNUR News, the Better Government Association and the Medill Innocence Project.
When I'm not reporting, I love to explore Los Angeles and train for half and full marathons with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. I also love classical music – before I became a journalist, I studied clarinet performance. If you see me around, please stop me and say hi!
<b>Beliefs:</b> I believe in the power of empathy, understanding and tolerance.
<b>Politics:</b> As a reporter, I'm very interested in politics but I believe in maintaining a rigid separation between my personal politics and my work.
