Bloomberg reporter Waller departs for business school

Hailey Waller, a reporter for Bloomberg News, left the news organization on Monday and plans to attend business school.

Waller has been accepted into the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.

Waller was originally scheduled earlier this year to move to London to cover energy, but the pandemic ended those plans. She has been at Bloomberg since September 2016, first as a producer at Bloomberg Television and for the past year as a reporter in New York.

Waller also interned at Bloomberg.

Waller is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill in business journalism. While in school, she worked for Business North Carolina and the North Carolina Business News Wire.
