About Me

I am currently the education reporter at Northern Public Radio, WNIJ 89.5; and a North Central College graduate. During my time at the College, I was the news editor and copy editor of the student-run media publication the Chronicle, known online as ncclinked.com. I was an on-air personality and sports broadcaster at WONC 89.1. I also worked briefly as a reporter for Naperville Community Television before joining WNIJ as their education reporter. I am from Sandwich, IL and currently live in Naperville.
