Patch? Oh, I LOVE Patch! I have worn a variety of hats, here at Patch! I have done listings, written some feature articles, and worked as the Middlesex Calendar Editor until that position was phased out. I love the concept of Patch, love seeing the communities networking and being knit together.

I operate my own business, as a Freelance Writer. I have worked as a contracted freelance writer across digital platforms for 15 years. During that time, I have worked for a State Dept. of Education, as a print newspaper as a journalist, and an online journalist and editor. I routinely work through a half a dozen sites, such as Elance and fiverr, in a buyer-seller contracted relationship. My ratings across all sites is 99%. I am rarely asked for a rewrite or modification, and have completed over 15,000 content pieces to date. Subject matter ranges, as does the type of work that is being done. This is not my hobby. It is my full-time employment, run as a business. I am pleased to say that I am successful and the business is profitable. In the competitive world of bidding and landing contracts, I find myself with a dozen or more contracts in queue at any given point in time. Writing is my passion!
