Kirsten Petersen, Patch Staff

Hello! My name is Kirsten Petersen and I am thrilled to be reporting for Patch.com in the College Park area this summer. I have had a blast the past few years with my Patch.com freelance assignments. I now feel more connected to my community through my reporting and conversations, whether I am chatting with Girl Scouts or with senior citizens learning how to tweet. I am excited to continue to give back to College Park, where I attend the University of Maryland, and the surrounding towns as an editorial intern.
