Meet Editor Sonja Sharp and the San Lorenzo Patch team

Welcome to San Lorenzo Patch, your brand new source for community news and information.

You can expect in-depth coverage of schools, health, development and crime, as well as all the fascinating people that make this corner of the East Bay tick.

I'm Sonja Sharp, editor of San Lorenzo Patch. Though I earned my Master's degree at Columbia University and spent most of my career reporting from New York City, I'm a born-and-bred 'Baytriot', and excited I'm to be back on home turf.
