Michael Nocella, a longtime native of South Jersey and current resident of Mount Kisco, is excited to join Patch as a Local Editor for Pleasantville-Briarfcliff and the Rivertowns. Before jumping on board, Michael worked in Ithaca, N.Y., as a freelance reporter for the Ithaca Times and covered Chappaqua, Armonk, Bedford and Mount Kisco as a staff reporter for the Daily Voice. Michael is a 2011 University of Connecticut graduate with a double-major bachelor's degree in communications and English. When Michael isn’t breaking the latest news in Westchester, he most likely is on a long run, at the movies or watching his beloved Philadelphia sports teams break his heart.
