Hi Cleveland! You may have seen my byline covering health stories for Signal Cleveland for the past year. I’ve written about lead poisoning, hospitals and neighborhood services in the city.
My coverage will transition into writing stories about Arts & Culture in town. My hope is to tell stories about the artists and cultural trailblazers that shape Cleveland’s identity. What stories come to mind? You can email me at [email protected].
