About
I grew up in Apex, N.C., before attending UNC-Chapel Hill, majoring in journalism and minoring in Spanish. I also served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, and earned a certificate in business journalism through the journalism school.
While in college, I interned at The (Durham, N.C.) Herald-Sun on the metro desk; the St. Petersburg Times on the editorial page, Neighbors section and metro desk; and at The Charlotte Observer on the business desk.
After graduation, I began working at the StarNews in Wilmington, N.C. I spent two months covering cops and higher education before being switched to the Brunswick County government beat. As part of that beat, I manage the Brunswick Today blog.
