Meet the New Scotch Plains-Fanwood Assistant Editor

Hello Scotch Plains-Fanwood!

I'm Nicole Bitette, the new Assistant Editor for Union County, focusing mostly on Scotch Plains-Fanwood. I recently graduated Cum Laude from Seton Hall University with a B.A. in Journalism.

During the past few years I have worked for Seton Hall's official campus newspaper, The Setonian, and Seton Hall's award-winning radio station, WSOU. I have also written for an online local news publication, The Alternative Press, in Maplewood and South Orange.

Most recently, I tried out the New York magazine world, by working as an Editorial Assistant for Traditional Home Magazine, due to my interest in design and home decorating. However, I decided to jump back to my love for local news at the number one place for it, here at Patch!

I enjoy working in communities where the residents care about what is going on and I hope to report on what matters to you. Right now, I am trying to get to know who's who in Scotch Plains-Fanwood and I look forward to meeting you. Please don't hesitate to e-mail or call me with any possible stories or concerns. I am always available and I can't wait to be a part of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood community.
