TribLocal reporter
I cover Des Plaines and Park Ridge, and when I'm not writing about government, crime, education or some type of local news, I'm meeting residents and telling their stories.

A graduate of the University of Iowa, I began working for TribLocal in 2010 after finishing an internship with the Chicago Tribune.

Feel free to contact me (email is best) with story ideas and tips.
