Hi there! I'm a senior local editor for Patch covering state issues and investigations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York City. I first joined Patch in 2020 covering New Jersey after graduating from New York University. I went on to cover the Garden State as a reporter/editor before obtaining my master's degree in journalism from Columbia University, where I specialized in investigations.
When I'm not covering the latest breaking news scoop or digging through court records, I can usually be found at a local music show or scouting the newest coffee spot in my corner of Bushwick.
