Greetings from your new local editor!

Hello Union City! My name is Amanda Aguilar and I will be your new Patch Local Editor. I recently graduated from Dominican University of California in San Rafael, CA. I received my bachelor’s of art degree in communication and media studies with an emphasis in multimedia journalism. During my four years at Dominican University, I was a part of my university’s newspaper staff – taking the role as Campus Life Editor and then becoming Managing Editor. I have also interned at ABS-CBN as a segment producer/production intern.

I am very excited to be Union City’s Local Editor. I love meeting new people, so if you ever see me around – don’t be afraid to say “Hi!” If there’s anything you’d like to see on your Union City Patch, please let me know. Feel free to email me at amanda.aguilar@patch.com or you can reach me at (510) 501-9072.
