About my job at Patch:

Currently I am the local editor of Wrentham Patch and Seekonk-Swansea Patch. I post original and aggregated content to these sites to provide readers with the latest town news.

Another part of my job is to encourage readers to become active voices on various Patch sites. Whether you want to post an event, say Happy Birthday to a loved one through our Boards section or share your expertise via blog, I'm here to help.
