I cover local news Arlington Heights and Buffalo Grove for TribLocal and the Chicago Tribune.

After graduating from DePaul University in Chicago and interning with the Trib, I came to TribLocal where I launched the Palatine, Barrington and Cary/Fox River Grove web sites and newspaper.

Please contact me with any story ideas, questions or thoughts - I'm happy to help!
