I have called Northern Virginia my home for more than 25 years. I received my bachelor's degree in journalism from nearby George Mason University in 2020. I believe that reliable local journalism is integral to the success and health of our communities, and I'm glad to serve my community in this small way. In my free time, you can find me watching sports, going to the movies, or hanging out with my one hundred pound lap dog, Duke.
