A New Path

I have been in Dallas for almost a year and this city exceeded my expectations.

Although the decision to move to Dallas well-informed, I am still continually surprised by this place.

All of this Dallas fandom has not gone unnoticed.

In addition to making the Dallas-Fort Worth Relocation Magazine, I’ve inspired many of my friends to visit Dallas (and they all loved it!)

My relationship with my new city is going to get even deeper this year because I am joining The Dallas Morning News as the Mobile/Newsletters Editor. I will help revamp the paper’s digital newsletters, do some writing, and hopefully tackle some other fun projects.

This will also end my 7-year run at Thomson Reuters, which has been exciting. I started at Thomson during law school and worked with many smart people who believed in doing great work. I see that same creativity and passion at The Dallas Morning News, which is why I am confident that this will be an exciting new chapter in my career.

But now I have a new dilemma – should I bus, bike, or drive it to my new office?
