Kristen Muller, Executive Editor (she/her) 

My background: I moved to California as a teenager and have lived here ever since (save for a 2 year stint in NYC). My journalism career began in the LA bureau of CBS Network News. I spent 14 years in public media, most recently as the Chief Content Officer at LAist.

What I do: I lead our editorial strategy and am responsible for ensuring our journalism is fair, accurate and community-centered. 

Why LA: The light, the smells, the food, swimming outside in January.

The best way to contact me: My email is kristen@thelalocal.org.
