Courtney Teague is the newsletter editor for Civil Beat, where she manages email products and builds digital audiences.

She holds degrees in English and philosophy from the University of Hawaii Manoa, where she caught the journalism bug as an editor of her college newspaper, Ka Leo O Hawaii. Her first job in journalism was at Civil Beat, where she covered a variety of topics including state government and education as an intern and fellow.

Courtney’s reporting has since appeared in newspapers big and small across the world — mostly in her home state of California — but she’s especially proud of the recipes and cooking tutorials she shares through her food blog, Feed the Soul.

She welcomes feedback on Civil Beat’s newsletters at courtney@civilbeat.org. Don’t be shy!
