Cassandra Day spent 13 years at Middletown's daily newspaper, writing features and profiles of people and places in Middlesex County.
She began her journalism career while attending Central Connecticut State University, when she joined the Central Recorder, and subsequently filled in for every position that needed help. In 1993, she earned a bachelor of arts degree in English with a minor in journalism.
After a brief stint reporting at the New Britain Herald, West Hartford and Wethersfield Posts, she became the Middletown Press features editor. There, she wrote an award-winning mothering column for the Press and New Haven Register, won several Society of Professional Journalists awards for news and features and most notably helped coordinate coverage of Wesleyan University's loss of student Johanna Justin-Jinich, eventually moving to senior editor at the Press.
Cassandra is a longtime resident of Middletown, where she lives with her two boys.
In November 2010, she became editor of Haddam-East Haddam Patch and took over as editor of Middletown Patch in March 2011.
