About

Polish-American, born and raised in Cheektowaga — 'the Waga,' she'll remind you — a suburb east of Buffalo where her grandfather ran a deli and every wall had a Sabres pennant. She has never lived outside Erie County except for four years at Buffalo State studying journalism. She covered the Sabres beat for the Buffalo News for twenty-two years.
