I'm a journalist whose passion is telling the stories of people's lives. I have a deep love of literature, theater, and the beach. Nothing is more soothing than a walk along the Long Island Sound, collecting beach glass and photographs along the sun-kissed shore.
A mother first, I have one son, Billy, who is in his sophomore year at Emerson College in Boston. He is my joy. We love animals and our dog and cats make our house a home.
As a parent, I know firsthand that our voices need to be heard, when it comes to the issues that shape our children's futures.
An active volunteer who works to help the homeless and disenfranchised, I find great peace in giving back, and joy in the everyday miracles that happen more often than we even see.
I am thrilled to be embarking on this new journey at Riverhead Patch and look forward to meeting each and every one of you in Riverhead. Please feel free to always send an email, and to comment on the stories you see here. This is your site -- this is a place for your voice to be heard.
I can't wait to meet you all.
