I'm Lauren Costa - a Rhode Island native, currently residing in the town of Coventry and a graduate of URI's journalism program. After more than three years as the editor of Coventry Patch and contributor to the majority of RI Patch.com sites at one point or another from 2010 to 2014, I'm excited to begin my own venture. (Stay tuned!) Meanwhile, take a look at some clips from my time as a Patcher, see what I'm up to on Twitter @laurencosta or drop me a line at laurencosta3@gmail.com!
