Patch.comRegional Editor
Jul. 2010 - Feb. 2012Greater St. LouisIn July 2010 I commenced to hire 13 full-time journalists to launch 12 Patch websites in Metro St. Louis. Patch provides an online community gathering place with news, information, a platform for local bloggers, a business directory, events calendars, announcements, classifieds and more. My job entailed providing my team with editorial, administrative, and operational oversight, guidance and support. I managed a budget and collaborated with fellow managers to implement initiatives. I wrote a twice-monthly column for the St. Louis sites called "The Virtual Life."
