When she’s not writing (or editing), she teaches business communication to online MBA students at UNC Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School. In 2016, she won a press fellowship to attend the Women Deliver conference in Copenhagen and trained with Reuters on how to report on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
