Sandy graduated from Bowling Green State University and she is currently studying art history at Case Western Reserve University as part of the Cleveland Museum of Art audit program.
I love the depth and richness of Cleveland culture. Our city is fortunate that we have embraced our differences rather than tried to rid ourselves of them. The result is a wealth of great and diverse restaurants, a lively theater and art scene, and a host of different and eclectic neighborhoods. I've lived and worked in Cleveland for over two decades and I'm still discovering new and exciting things about the city. I hope to share these discoveries with you and encourage you to share your Cleveland experiences with me and the rest of our readers.
