I am a Reporter for Peabody Patch, where I write a weekly news or feature story.

I was formerly the Calendar Editor.

I have a passion for local journalism &amp; providing important news to our readers, &amp; have worked in the field for six years.

<strong>Religion</strong>

I was baptized Roman Catholic, but converted to Pentecostal (Assemblies of God), a charismatic Protestant denomination, while a student at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass. I attend Calvary Christian Church in Lynnfield, Mass.  

<strong>Politics</strong>

Republican (conservative)

I became involved in politics while participating in Washington Journalism Semester at American University in Washington, D.C. in fall &#39;08. I worked in John McCain&#39;s campaign office, but other than that, politics isn&#39;t a major issue in my life. I fully believe in freedom of the press!!
