Easton area reporterI’m the Easton area reporter for LehighValleyNews.com. I started working in public media for WBEZ’s Curious City in Chicago, Ill., bringing city- and region-centric stories to the air. I love getting to know what makes up the place we call home. I’ve also lived and worked in Wisconsin, reporting in Milwaukee during the 2020 presidential election. I love video and board games, am picking up piano and, perhaps – one day – the drums.
