I have a love for community journalism. It is my passion to tell stories, document history, and bring awareness to people and places that are otherwise overlooked using whatever medium necessary to bring the story to life.

Before moving to the Midwest with my overly hyperactive dog, Lola, I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania and have always been fortunate enough to receive endless love and support from my family and friends as I pursue my dreams. I am constantly documenting my life and surroundings, blogging, fixing up a swanky 1970’s style house, bargain shopping, reading, playing guitar, learning new crafts, running around looking for stories, day dreaming, getting lost and torturing Lola with a laser pointer. To me, every day is an adventure.
