Since I was 11, I knew I wanted to be a reporter and a have been lucky enough to have made a career of it.
I've worked for a variety of local and regional newspapers, national magazines, and even banged out a few books.
I'm by nature nosy, which is why I'm ideally suited to my chosen profession. I've been writing for Patch since its founding in Southeastern Connecticut and I'm thrilled to be the Editor of The Lymes.
You can reach me any time at jayne.keedle@patch.com or by phone (860) 437-8131. I'm always looking for news tips!
