CNNMoney hires breaking news reporter

CNNMoney executive editor Lex Haris sent out the following staff hire on Thursday:

CNNMoney has a new breaking news reporter: Ahiza Garacia joins on Monday, June 29.
Ahiza comes to us from Talking Points Memo, where she writes…A LOT… on media and politics. She also knows sports, and got her Master’s from the Syracuse Newhouse School in 2013.
Here’s what Rich and I figured out very quickly: Ahiza is smart, quick, hard working and has an amazing ear for good stories.
She’ll eventually be working Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Welcome Ahiza!
