I had the opportunity to work as a freelance journalist for Patch.com.
Patch is a website that does hyper-local news and provides information about businesses in individual towns.

Most of my news coverage was either about government activities, or the arts.

Patches I have written for include Riverdell (Oradell and
River Edge, NJ), Mahwah, Hasbrouck Heights, Wyckoff, Kinnelon (Butler, Kinnelon and Bloomingdale, NJ), and New Milford.
