Originally from Monroe County, I graduated from Temple University with a degree in journalism before working at The Times News in Lehighton and the Pocono Record. Being able to contribute to public media is a dream of mine, and I look forward to exploring all that Easton and the Lehigh Valley has to offer. For your own sake, don’t get me talking about movies, books, podcasts, or vegan food – the conversation might never end!
