About

New England born and raised, baseball is my game and the Red Sox are my team. I now call Brooklyn home. The Celtics and Patriots, however, do manage to sublet some space in my heart every winter.

I'm a 2010 graduate of Wheaton College in Massachusetts, where I majored in English. During my time there I wrote both news and sports pieces for the Wheaton Wire, the school's newspaper. I also served as the paper's copy editor my junior year and managing editor my senior year.

I was a Boston Red Sox Featured Columnist from April 2011 to January 2012.

    Thanks so much for your "praise" of my piece on the first World Series and with one starting anew tonight I did think it was relevant subject matter.
