My name is Patty Guerra (watch her video by clicking here). I was born in Nebraska, and grew up in the Central Valley and went to Fresno State – Go, ‘Dogs! We moved to Turlock six years ago, and we love it here. After stints at several papers where I’ve done everything from getting booked into jail to flying a plane for stories, I’ve been an editor at The Bee for the last several years. And as much fun as that’s been, I’m excited to get back into reporting and writing. Keep up with what's going on in Turlock by coming to www.modbee.com/turlock and by going to my TurlockNow blog.
