You’ll find me in the kitchen at parties

September 5, 2011 My story

Do you like parties? I’m not talking about the kind of parties where you slip on a little black dress for nightclubs, take shots off a girl’s belly and swing under a disco ball (do those things still exist?).  I’m talking about big, celebratory events like birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. [...]

A camping trip with rice-cookers and no s’mores

August 11, 2011 My story

While I was interviewing the awesome kids for the L.A. Times Summer Camp Campaign articles (check them out and please donate if you can…and yes I’m pimping!), I realized that I was hearing all these wonderful stories on how summer camp helped them, but I myself have never experienced a real camping trip before. Oh, [...]

How To Paint Bread Orange

February 25, 2011 My story

Bribing the Cop with Chocolate Mint Bread

February 1, 2011 Los Angeles

I recently got a chance to interview a police officer. This was part of a police beat assignment in my print reporting class. We had to find “news” relating to crime in Culver City, and turn in a 200-word article that includes quotes from three sources. By a stroke of luck, I somehow scored an [...]

A Beautiful Year

December 31, 2010 family

My dad called me this morning while I was still in bed, reluctant to get up. He was calling me on his cell phone and sounding a bit breathless, so I knew he was out on a walk. “It’s New Year’s eve!” he boomed. “I’d like you to email me some of your prayer topics [...]
