I'm a recent graduate of North Central College in Naperville.  I earned a B.A. in Journalism.  I've been a staff writer for the North Central Chronicle for 3 years. I was also an intern for the Kane County Farm Bureau and wrote for their member publication the Kane County Farmer.  I am currently working in retail while writing freelance for Patch and serving as the marketing coordinator for a film on sesquicentennial farms in Northern Illinois.
