I'm the editor of the Pacifica Patch. I worked as a reporter while I earned my Bachelor's degree at the University of Washington (which <i>wasn't</i> that long ago) and kept at it post-graduation, covering everything from tech startups in Seattle to the Washington State Legislature with a lot of everything in between.
I'm excited to be here in Pacifica as a proud employee of Patch, one of the most exciting new developments in journalism, and, of course, as a member of the community.
It's my job, and pleasure, to bring you news about all aspects of Pacifica.
