“We’re thrilled she’s on the team,” said editor Robert Levin on Twitter on Monday afternoon. amNew York is a paper that targets a younger, professional and more urban demographic than traditional newspapers.

From April 2012 to December 2013, she was a reporter and then associate editor of the Riverdale Press, where she won first place for education coverage in the New York Press Association’s 2013 Better Newspaper Contest.

She also spent a year as the White Plains reporter and a county government reporter for Main Street Connect.

Trangle graduated from New York University with a degree in journalism in 2011.
