More Local News Coverage Of Braintree From Patch

BRAINTREE, MA - Starting this week, Patch is adding a dedicated reporter to cover all types of news coverage for Braintree.

My name is Mary Ellen Gambon, and I began my journalism career in 1994. I took a detour to work in state and Boston government and social services before returning to my passion for reporting.
Over the past five years, I have covered several communities, including Boston, Norwood, Dedham, Canton, Stoughton, Randolph, Sharon, Westwood, Walpole, Holbrook and Hopkinton. For the past six months, I have covered Dedham, Norwood, Westwood and Walpole for Patch.

Although I am new to covering Braintree, I am familiar with the town. As a Boston native, I have spent a lot of time at South Shore Plaza. I am looking forward to gaining more insight into the issues that are important to Braintree.

I will be focusing my local coverage on town government and the schools. If there are any issues you would like me to cover or ideas for features, please reach out to me. My email is maryellen.gambon@patch.com. I can also preview upcoming community events.

I look forward to engaging with you and covering everything that is important to Braintree.
