I've been the local editor of the Delaware County and Main Line Patch websites since September 2016. I hold an English degree from Bloomsburg University, and a graduate degree in journalism from the University of Maryland. My journalism career began as a copy editor and sports writer at my hometown paper, The Morning Times. While at UMD, I worked for the Greenbelt News Review, Takoma Voice, and Capital News Service. After graduating, I worked for The Daily Review in Bradford County before moving to Philadelphia and joining Patch in 2016. I love music, food, comedy, the Phillies, the Eagles, exercising, video games, and animals.
