I studied business journalism and economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I wrote news and blog posts for UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School as a marketing and communications assistant – covering everything from faculty research to industry conferences. I also spent time reporting on the L.A. private sector for Los Angeles Business Journal and working for NC Business News Wire, writing breaking news about North Carolina public companies. Some of the topics I’ve covered include global market trends in commercial real estate, socially responsible investing and the rapid growth of foreign investment in the United States.
