Phone: 201-706-1984 Hometown: Monroe, NY Birthday: June 15th  Bio: Hi All! I am really excited to be the editor of Mahwah's Patch site, a great source for all of the news and information about what is going on locally. Born and raised in the area, I am glad to be covering local news that is really important. I have worked in local radio journalism as an on-air reporter for about three years, and am extremely passionate about catering to a local community. I am a graduate of Fordham University's Honors Program who double majored in Journalism and Political Science. I am a big family person, and I love meeting new people and making new friends. So please, don't be shy! Shoot me an email or give me a call if you think there's something I should know about. Politics: I love political discussion, but I am not registered with a particular party. I try to be open, and evaluate each issue and candidate independently. Religion: Catholic Local Hot-Button Issues: I think that what Mahwah needs most is good news coverage. Whether it is about the schools, taxes, building (Crossroads...), or anything else, I am glad that Patch is giving us a reliable source of information, and a place to discuss these important issues.
