Devin Leith-Yessian
PJM Correspondent
Devin got his start in the newspaper world at the Meriden Record-Journal, covering small towns in central Connecticut and writing about everything from the town fair to the angry budget meetings about how much to spend on the town fair. A graduate of the journalism program at Central Connecticut State University, he left the Nutmeg State to cover PJM from his new home in Philadelphia. Though now a city dweller, Devin has retained his love of nature and will be exploring a whole new set of mountains and forests, some made out of concrete.
