A Michigan native, I spent my formative years growing up in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, before moving back to the States to pursue my journalism degree at Indiana University in Bloomington. After having grown up, studying in and covering several small communities, I've grown to appreciate the individualism and rarity that comes with hyper-local reporting, and am really enjoying working for Patch to cover Chicago's western suburbs. When I'm not making phone calls, writing or reporting, I'm probably feeding my chocolate addiction, watching a musical or trying to keep up with my reading list. Reach me at [email protected] with any comments, questions, concerns or tips.
Congrats to Abigail and Caitlin!
