Born and raised in New York, I’ve been living in the Tampa Bay area for the past 10 years. I've spent the majority of my career in community journalism on Long Island and in Florida.
Prior to Patch, I worked as an editor for Tampa Bay Newspapers in Pinellas County for eight years. Locally, my work has also appeared in La Gaceta, Creative Loafing, Watermark, Creative Pinellas and The Tampa Free Press.
I’m also the founder and president of Wordier Than Thou, a literary arts nonprofit that creates fun, engaging events for Florida writers and readers.
As a field editor for Patch, I’ll be covering the St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Bradenton and Miami areas. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to connect with me at Tiffany.Razzano@patch.com or 516-906-2140.
