I’m a Hoosier who has always preferred to call Seattle “home.”
I grew up in Bellevue, but moved back to Indiana – the state where I was born - to attend Ball State University with my twin sister. After graduating with a degree in journalism and political science, I returned to Seattle to follow my passion for telling stories and live in the city I love.
