After discovering her athletic talents weren’t going to take her anywhere, Kaitlyn decided to go to school to become a sports journalist. She attended college at the University of Maryland, College Park; and when she wasn’t at basketball and football games, she was taking classes.
Before coming to Patch, Kaitlyn interned with The Baltimore Sun sports department for a summer during school; covered the Washington Capitals for Inside Hockey; covered high school sports in PG County; and worked for Maryland Athletics.
Kaitlyn received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Maryland and began freelancing for several publications after graduation.
