I am Patch's senior managing editor of editorial operations. I am an award-winning journalist, and an accomplished investigator with more than 20 years of research, professional writing, and social media experience. I'm originally from Southern California and have been happily transplanted in the East San Francisco Bay Area for more than a dozen years. I am a mother of two, retired law enforcement, and a volunteer for many local community groups.
A few of my favorite things: Reading, writing, travel, volunteering, fitness, camping, cooking, and movies.
I try to remember:
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. -Archbishop Desmond Tutu
