About me: Being a lifelong Marylander gives me deep ties and a unique insight to the communities I cover. I recently graduated from the University of Delaware, where I earned a degree in media communication with minors in journalism and political science. Before joining Patch this June, I worked for The Delaware News Journal and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I also led the student newspaper, The Review, as editor-in-chief, during my senior year. Now, I join the Patch team, excited to cover the communities I grew up in! Have a story idea? Please contact me at jacob.baumgart@patch.com with any pitches, tips or concerns.
