First of all, thank you for reading Patch. Patch is America's #1 network of hyperlocal news sites.
I cover Central New Jersey for Patch, and Rutgers University. Like so many of my Patch colleagues, I am truly passionate about local news. I write for the people, who may not always have a voice, and I try to speak truth to power.
I have my graduate degree in journalism from Columbia University and in the past I've worked for NJ.com and The Jersey Journal. My work has been published in the Newark Star Ledger, MSN and Yahoo News.
