I'm RJ Scofield, a local Patch editor for Connecticut. I have been working in journalism since graduating from Roger Williams University with a degree in, you guessed it, journalism.
I have lived in Connecticut for most of my life and love getting to share interesting local stories with readers and craft compelling features about the unsung heroes of a community.
I currently cover the following Patch communities: Norwalk, New Canaan, Trumbull, Shelton-Derby and Naugatuck.
In the past, I have also covered communities such as Greenwich, Stamford, Westport, Darien, New London, Stonington, Waterford and Groton.
Send your tips, ideas and questions my way at rj.scofield@patch.com.
