My goal is to help Orange County residents understand and navigate the big changes taking place here — cultural, political, and in our built and natural environment. I also want to help people build connections with their OC neighbors.
I know that I can’t cover everything. So I’m hoping you’ll help me prioritize my coverage by letting me know what’s going on in your community and what you wish you knew more about.
