Profile Information

Hometown: Louisville, Ky.

So what brings you Leimert Park Beat? Tell us a little bit about yourself.: I moved to the Leimert Park area near Crenshaw and Martin Luther King about five years ago and was overcome with the culture that now surrounds me.

About two years ago I started an online community for my neighborhood as part of the master's program in online communities I am in at USC.

It was always a dream of mine to have a newspaper - and this is a better platform that I could have dreamed. The community decides what's important by contributing the content. Leimert Park Beat strengthens the community by providing a virtual town square. Leimert Park Beat also empowers the community by giving it a voice in this big city.

After spending most of my life working at newspapers, I found a home at the University of Southern California working as a media relations representative.

I'm proud to be the chaplain, an elected position, in the Sutro Avenue Block Club. Our yearly barbecue is in August, Holiday potluck is December and Yard Sale is in May.

I'm about to wrap up a master's degree in online communities at USC. As part of that, I've branched out to create neighborhood social networks:

Yes, we must always fight apathy...it's one of the greatest enemies of our community. I do my little part to start and keep discussions going... because of the love I have for my community. We must always dialog with each other towards helping to better the quality of life for all of us.
