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

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
