Reporter and site editor at ALXnow
I grew up with a Westie who passed away this year at 14. (The pic is from her last Christmas) The Westie Rescue was such a special sight to see today ❤️

As a newbie here this is An Awesome Tradition. I’m grateful to get to learn more about ALX everyday & engage in events like this one!

The revisions were drafted with feedback from the student journalists at Theogony. The policy itself hasn’t been updated since 2014. www.alxnow.com/2025/11/10/a...

🪡 Hey, NoVA Bsky! It’s Election Day and as good a time as any to reintroduce myself as @alxnow.bsky.social’s new site editor. I’m thrilled to work hard to inform readers & tell local stories that matter.

I spent this morning talking to voters in ALX w/ the help of longtime reporter James Cullum.
