I cover Elgin and St. Charles for the Tribune and TribLocal.
I first came to the Tribune in August 2010, and am a graduate of the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois-Springfield's Public Affairs Reporting graduate school program.
Besides local government and school news, I have experience covering courts and politics across the Chicago area and beyond.
I look forward to your story ideas!
