Her last day at Jalopnik will be March 31.

“You’d be considered very lucky if you ever get to work at a place like Jalopnik,” she wrote on Twitter. “I know I am. The site gave me a platform to experiment with, take risks, and be as insane and stupid as I wanted every day. It was a joy.”

Lee has been at Jalopnik since June 2016. She previously worked at DownforceLifestyle and Road & Track. She also worked at DuPont Registry.
