I was an editor/reporter for the Herald newspaper group in Nassau County, after which I was the original editor of Long Beach Patch. After more than 10 years working as a hyperlocal community journalist, I turned to reporting on small businesses, law and other topics at Long Island Business News. I was also a breaking news reporter for American Banker in New York City. My freelance work includes writing for Newsday, Long Island Pulse, and other local and national publications. Today, I work as a freelance journalist, writer, photographer and content creator.
