Hi everyone,
I’m sad to say that today’s my last day at Bloomberg. I had a great time working with all of you, and the experience was invaluable. I really want to thank you all for your support and patience with my incessant questions about markets and the terminal. I’m really lucky to have worked with such a fantastic group of journalists, and I hope to stay in touch!

Scaggs had joined Bloomberg after three years at The Wall Street Journal. Scaggs previously worked at Institutional Investor for two years. She is a business journalism graduate from Washington & Lee University.
