Hi there, my name is Caitlin Moran, and I am an editor for the 15 Patch sites in the Puget Sound region.
A little about me: I grew up in Snohomish County and graduated from the University of Portland, where I majored in English and served as editor in chief of the student newspaper.
After graduation, I moved to Baltimore and completed a reporting internship at The Chronicle of Higher Education in Washington, D.C. I also worked as a copy editor for The York Daily Record/Sunday News in York, Pa., and spent a year as a community reporter for The Gazette, a group of weekly papers in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.
I joined Patch in 2010 and managed the Redmond site for two years before transitioning into my current role in early 2013.
In my spare time, I try to take full advantage of the amazing outdoor recreational opportunities available in our region. My favorite activities are backpacking, climbing and skiing.
