Trappe Celebrates Community Tree Lighting

I am the editor of the Perkiomen Valley and Limerick-Royersford-Spring City Patches.
I grew up in Souderton, and I have a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland.
I have been with Patch since August of 2012, and I love covering local news!
I live about 20 minutes away, but I spend most of my days (and a lot of my weekends) in the area.
I am most often found at Wegman's in Upper Providence, DaVinci's in Collegeville or the Lucky Lab in Royersford...but I'm always looking for new places to work...all I need is WiFi!
