Pioneer Press

lincolnwood.suntimes.com/lifestyles/trend/12375472...

I compile the police blotter each week for Pioneer Local’s Lake Zurich Courier, and I cover breaking news, campaigns, events, municipal meetings, entrepreneurial activities and innovative happenings in the area for Pioneer Press’s many other publications. On top of my feature and news writing for the publication, I also cover and take photos at local fundraisers for its culturally-connected Trend section. This is a story I photographed and wrote for Trend, about the Alexian Brothers Foundation’s Up, Up and Away 26th Annual Ball De Fleur May 5 at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom.
