Bio:
Caitlin comes to Patch after graduating from Rutgers University in May 2010. At Rutgers, Cait completed a dual major in Exercise Science and Journalism, earning a Bachelor of Science. At The Daily Targum, the University's official daily newspaper, Caitlin served as a writer and editor for three years, completing her last term as News Editor.
Cait tackled issues affecting the University community, including the controversial expansion of Rutgers Stadium and the ongoing housing shortage that misplaced hundreds of students to off-campus hotels for two years. She also covered Barack Obama's Election Rally on Nov. 4, 2008 in Chicago, and led coverage of the 2009 New Jersey Gubernatorial Race. During her college career, she completed internships at The Home News Tribune, Good Housekeeping Magazine, NETS Basketball, and SoBe Beverages and Pepsi Co.
Born and raised in Forked River, Caitlin moved to New Providence to launch the community's Patch in September 2010. In March 2011, Cait oversaw the merger of New Providence Patch and Berkeley Heights-Mountainside Patch. Caitlin was promoted to Summit Patch in November 2012. At that time, she also began serving as the Sports Beat Editor for New Providence-Berkeley Heights Patch and Springfield Patch. As of June 2013, Cait is the Editor for Summit Patch and New Providence-Berkeley Heights Patch.
When Cait is not glued to her computer screen or covering events, games and interviewing residents in her communities, she can be found hanging out along Long Beach Island, skiing the slopes in Vermont or in Forked River visiting her family, friends and her adorable Husky-Chow mixed dogs. Cait also enjoys reading, singing off key while driving, cringing while watching the Rutgers and NY Giants Football teams frequently lose, and eating cheese. Growing up as a competitive dancer in Jazz, Lyrical and Hip-Hop, and choreographing for the Rutgers Performing Dance Company, Cait still enjoys dancing when she has the time.
