Hello.

I'm Jay Patel.

I am a senior at Scranton Preparatory School in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

My interests include writing, technology, piano, tennis, and community service.

I've been a contributor to WorldStart.com's "Computer Tips" newsletter since 2006.

Some of my most recent work has been for the Scranton Times-Tribune's business section.

In my free time, I am a member of the Moses Taylor Hospital Volunteer program, and I spend time tutoring my friend Mr. Cook.

I live in Dalton, PA where my family and I have owned and operated the Dalton Pharmacy for over seventeen years.

Please feel free to contact me at patel24jay (at) gmail.com, or here.
