Job duties:
I cover K-12 and higher education issues, business and general news impacting Carson City, Lyon County and Northern Nevada. Every person has a new story worth writing and a new way to share it, and my passion is to listen to them and figure out the best way to share it with compassion and credibility.

About me:
“Journalism is literature in a hurry,” Matthew Arnold wrote, so I’m usually off planning that next great story, brainstorming ideas as I watch my favorite Nolan movies or listen to Elvis. I’m happily married, and when my husband and I aren’t fixing up our old house that’s showing its age now, we’re preparing for that dream vacation we promised ourselves this year.
