Birthday: September 13. Bio: I am so excited to be the new East Meadow
Patch Local Editor. Before, joining the Patch community, I worked as a
night cop reporter for the Gannett Journal News in White Plains, NY. I
have also worked as freelancer for Patch in the past. My work can be seen
on the New Rochelle, Rye, Scarsdale, Larchmont, Mount Kisco and Yorktown
sites. I have also had my work published in the Columbia University
Newsletter, The Mount Vernon Inquirer and the Bronx Press. I was raised in
Yonkers, the largest city in Westchester County. I graduated from Manhattan
College in the Bronx with a B.A. in English and Journalism. I received my
Masters in journalism from Iona College in New Rochelle, NY in 2006. East
Meadow is my new home and I cannot wait to learn the ins and outs of this
great community and to meet those who make East Meadow a wonderful
place-YOU, the residents. I am very friendly, so if you see me please come
over and tell me your concerns, whats occurring in the community or just
simply, "Hello."
