About me: I grew up in Massachusetts outside Boston and started my journalism career at 19 when I earned an internship in the sports department of The Boston Globe. I graduated from Boston University in 2007 and became a reporter at Foster's Daily Democrat in New Hampshire before joining Patch in 2010. I've covered three New Hampshire primaries and won awards for environmental reporting and Sunday staff excellence from the New England Newspaper & Press Association.
