I was born in Westfield, NJ and lived there for 22 years before joining the Patch family. I have been interested in and practicing journalism since I was 15, beginning at Westfield High School and continuing on through college. I began college at Quinnipiac University, where I spent two great years before transferring to Rowan University. After occupying several editorial positions on the college newspaper, I began freelancing for Patch in Collingswood. I graduated magna cum laude from Rowan in May, 2011.
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
I do not identify with any political party. However, I am fiscally conservative while leaning toward the left regarding social issues.
I was raised Catholic but do not consider myself a religious person. I welcome an open-minded environment.
