A longtime resident, and mother of 2 small children.  I love everything Bolingbrook!  

For the past 4 years, I served as editor/reporter of the online community website The Number Crunchers, and Bolingbrook Chronicle.  I also ran for Village Trustee in 2009 and 2011. 

I can honestly say the entire experience left me humbled, and grateful to have met some wonderful people in the community.

Today, I no longer report on local government finance.  Instead, I get to write about a variety of interesting topics specific to Bolingbrook.

As a passionate resident of Bolingbrook, and novice writer, I sincerely hope you will follow me as I explore the people, places and things that make our community special.

Hopefully the articles will inspire some critical thinking and respectful debate.
