Bio

I'm a South Florida native who graduated from the University of Central Florida's journalism program. As a student, I interned as a reporter at the Sun Sentinel newspaper in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and the Oregonian newspaper in Portland, Ore., among other publications.

After graduating in 2007, I was hired full time at the Sun Sentinel as a community news reporter. I later moved on to the municipal and public safety beats, covering everything from bank robberies to the start of turtle nesting season.

When I'm not reporting, I can be found reading Harry Potter books (again), watching TV, or taking pictures on my smart phone.  I also enjoy exploring the greater Northern Virginia area.

Hi Rachel....I noticed a small error on the Fairfax Station Patch review of the Oak Leather KinderCare. It lists the director of the center as Christian Vargas; however, the correct name should be Christian Bentley (by the way, that would be me) :)

The director of the Burke Commons KinderCare, 3 minutes down the road, is Kelly Vargas, which is probably where the mix-up occurred. If you could correct this, it'd be greatly appreciated...thanks!
