I began my career in print journalism after graduating from The College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and professional writing. I started as a government reporter for the Princeton Packet Newspaper Group, focusing on Hillsborough and Manville in Somerset County. After three years there, I moved to Patch Media, where I served as the local editor for the newly launched Bridgewater Patch site, and later added on sites covering Bernardsville and Bedminster, and Watchung and Warren. 

During that time, I also earned my Master of Arts degree in media studies and a certificate in media management from the New School.

In 2012, I was approached by the original owners of The BReeze newspaper, a local monthly paper owned by a Bridgewater couple who had started it in 2009. They were looking to retire, and approached me with a proposition for taking over the paper and running it myself. As I was looking to branch out and had always loved print newspapers (and the process of creating the papers), I took the leap and became the owner of The BReeze, covering Bridgewater and Raritan Borough.

About a year later, I decided I wanted to bring the newspaper online too to cover events, breaking news and more that was happening throughout the month, and keep the news available and accessible every day. I found TAPinto and knew it would be the right fit because I would be able to keep my autonomy in running my publication, while also having aid in the back-end work of building and creating a website, plus the support of other editors. I signed on in May 2014, and have been going strong ever since. 

In late 2019, I was looking to expand my reach a little further, and the opportunity arose to take on the TAPinto Flemington-Raritan site, which was owned by someone who had decided to go on a different career path. Then, in 2024, I decided to expand even further and open a print newspaper in the Flemington-Raritan-Readington area, to bring the news into people’s homes both in print and online. It is a new venture, and, coupled with TAPinto, I’m very excited about the possibilities going forward. 

In 2026, I have had the opportunity to grow even more with my taking ownership of The Branchburg News, the newspaper covering Branchburg Township in Somerset County, and the opening of the new TAPinto Branchburg site.

Outside of my work, I also volunteer where I can in the communities. I am a member of the board of education at my synagogue, Temple Sholom in Bridgewater. And, as of 2023, I work with the United Way of Hunterdon County, serving on the development committee to help get the word out about the organization. As a member of BW NICE Somerset County since 2015, I have been the communications/social media manager since 2016.
