Bio: I became a Patch community editor in February 2013 and now oversee blogger relations, community engagement, outreach and marketing efforts for 9 Patch sites throughout southeastern Michigan. Prior to that, I served as editor of Wyandotte Patch since November 2010. Before joining Patch, I had a long career in print media. I worked 15 years at The News-Herald Newspapers – 12 of those as a reporter. I left The News-Herald as its online coordinator in October 2010 to accept a promotion at its sister publication, The Oakland Press. I was there a whopping three days before accepting a position with Patch.
