I am a local editor at Patch.com reporting on news in eastern Chester County, including Tredyffrin and Easttown townships; and West Chester, Phoenixville, and Malvern boroughs, and Norristown Borough, Montgomery County. I worked at several newspapers in the Philadelphia region and South Jersey. I graduated from Boston University with a degree in journalism and American history. My hobbies include swimming, running, movies, reading and Philadelphia sports. You may not know this, but my first job was at a bubble gum factory in Havertown, PA
