About

Currently a crime reporter for Greater Niagara Newspapers in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y. area since Sept. 22, 2009.

Originally from the Rochester, N.Y. area, I moved to Phoenix in the summer of 2005 to attend Arizona State University, where I was a student-athlete on the women's soccer team. As a 2009 graduate of ASU, I received a dual Bachelor of Arts degree in print journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and English-Literature from the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

Before and during college, I worked for ESPN (Phoenix); Bleacher Report, CBS and FOXSports.com (San Francisco); Greece Post Newspaper, Discover Rochester Magazine, WROC-TV 8 and WHAM-TV 13 (Rochester); and College Affair Magazine (Scottsdale, Ariz.).

I enjoy fishing, reading, ice hockey, playing music, skiing and snowboarding, and listening to country music. I also enjoy playing the bass guitar and banjo, and volunteering with the county 4-H program.

    Britney,

    Thanks for taking the time to edit my article
    I am concerned about the font however, as it seems to drop in size halfway through the article
    And then on the second page there is a portion of html code that is visible

    Thank you for your edit. I know I make a lot of sentencing and syntax errors. English is my second language and even if I know my english fairly well, I still make the dumbest of mistakes. :)

    Thank you again.

    Thanks for becoming one of my fans, Britney. I don't know which articles of mine you've read that you like, but most of mine are about expansion in the CFL, NHL, and NFL and the state of hockey in general. Actually there are a lot of articles you could write about being a hockey fan in Phoenix coming from Rochester. The Phoenix franchise is in the worst shape of all NHL teams and is the only one Gary Bettman has been publicly forced to admit is in trouble. Unless new investors appear, the franchise could be contracted or relocated. If it ever was put up for sale, there is a good chance that Jim Balsillie would try to buy it and move it up here to southern Ontario.

    I read some of your articles, particularly the ones about Rochester, Buffalo, and Toronto. I've only visited Rochester once, over twenty years ago, going to Club 747. One article, you could write about which I would be interested in is why Rochester, except for lacrosse is content to be minor league. Whenever there is talk about professional sports expansion/relocation, Rochester is never mentioned. Yet the greater Rochester area has over one million people and next door is the Syracuse area which has 700,000. With ten money-losing NHL franchises around, there is never a better chance for Rochester to get a franchise, perhaps even Phoenix itself. But the relocation cities mentioned are usually Kansas City, Houston, Las Vegas, Hamilton, Hartford, and Quebec. Same with the Bills. Why doesn't Rochester consider going after them or try to get regular season games played there like Toronto has? It seems to me that Rochester has the potential to join the big leagues in many sports but nothing is heard on that front. What ambitions do the sports fans in Rochester have?
