I have enjoyed my first month as editor of the Georgetown edition of Community Impact Newspaper immensely thanks to a new, great team of co-workers and a truly welcoming city.

Prior to this position I was a reporter for the Lake Travis-Westlake edition, but I was commuting from Georgetown. Living in this community for a year filled my mind with story possibilities I cannot wait to pursue.

If you have any ideas, questions or concerns for Reporter Ali Linan and me to investigate, please reach out. I would like to make connections with as many people as possible as I continue to learn about the area and everyone who calls it home.

That said, there will be a few upcoming issues where you will not see me, as I am expecting my first child and will be going on maternity leave when he arrives. But I will be back! I have so many new things in life to be excited about right now and look forward to bringing that energy to this edition upon my return.
