I grew up in Plymouth, MN, where I attended Armstrong High School. I studied both Political Science and Journalism at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. I enjoy traveling, and have had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Mexico, and many other locations within the 48 states.

In addition to freelancing for Patch, I also work as an Associate Investigative Producer at KSTP 5 Eyewitness News.
