About Patty D

Patty Delgado is a journalist and web designer living in Brooklyn, New York.

 

I am a Texas native who moved to the big apple in 2006 for school. I received my B.A. in Journalism and Sociology from New York University, magna cum laude and with honors, and am seeking my M.A. through a special program in NYU's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences PhD Sociology department.

My current research/writing interests include social and cultural analysis, inequality and food access, and urban studies. In 2010 I spent a year traveling the United States and living on small, organic farms. I wrote about the farms and more specifically the WWOOF program for my honors thesis at NYU. My current thesis will focus on organic food culture in the urban setting and how it is stratified by income.

In 2009 I studied abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, an experience that deeply changed my understanding of culture and language. I interned at an online newspaper aggregating content from different blogs across Eastern Europe, and made grocery money by tutoring a sweet Czech boy in English.

Currently I'm focusing more on web development than writing, but I'm also launching an online magazine called Surf the Stream. Surf the Stream is a news source for streaming video on the web, as well as a handy guide for finding the best TV and Movies now that there are so many sites offering this content.

If you're interested in having a site designed or have any questions, please e-mail me at patty@pattyd.com. I'm also on twitter if you'd like chat there or know what I ate this morning.
