The Beat:
Experienced journalist with more than a decade of daily reporting. I've reported for large and small papers, written stories that appear online and have a blog.
I've written about courts, crime, immigration, civil rights, animal rights, soliders going to or returning from the middle east.
I specialize in taking a routine story about an accident and turning a trend piece for a community or country. I'm always trying to go that extra mile for an obituary.
