Amanda came to Patch in June 2010 after graduating from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree in journalism. She launched Lemont Patch in 2010, and covered the community for two years before moving to Downers Grove in August 2012.
Prior to Patch, Amanda wrote for her college newspaper, The Daily Northwestern, covering city council and education. In 2009, Amanda spent three months interning at the Orange County Register in California. Despite the large market, it was here that she learned the ins and outs of community reporting. After returning to Illinois in June 2009, Amanda immediately started working as an editorial intern in the DuPage County office of the Daily Herald. During her senior year at Northwestern, she spent six months investigating a possible wrongful conviction case with the Medill Innocence Project.

Great job! We hope you can keep up the good work. We've also noticed you don't sleep much - be careful. Remember to take a break every now and then.

This looks like it is working out to be a pretty good concept.
It's nice to be able to keep up on local news easily and quickly without it getting drowned out by the onslaught of domestic and global media coverage.
