Expertise: I have extensive knowledge of bars and restaurants both in the city and some surrounding suburbs. I am also well versed on summer festivals and year round activities. I don't know much about the city's history and have limited knowledge about the museums. I am probably not the best person to help find hotels, but if there is anything that I can help you research, I would happy to do so and learn a little something in the process.
Experience in the area I have lived on the north side of Chicago for several years, and I have lived/worked in the north and northwest suburbs my entire life. In my younger years, I was in the hospitality industry, working in bars and clubs. Now, I am always seeking out new places and great deals, plus I frequently host out-of-towners, so I definitely know the hot spots to hit when you are in for a limited time.
Organizations In order to get involved with my city, I volunteer at Chicago Animal Care and Control, with Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and with a couple of Catholic sister churches.
Education/Credentials Double major in Art and Psychology with a minor in English Writing at the Institute of Art.
