I'm a freelance journalist living on the Eastside.  I recently moved to the area from Eastern Washington, where I worked for community and business newspapers, most recently in Spokane at the Journal of Business.

I'm finding that there's no shortage of interesting people and vibrant local businesses to write about here, and look forward to contributing more to Patch.com.

I have two delightful children, a funny bone that balances my business sense, and in my spare time I try to speak French and visit local comedy clubs.
