I’m extremely pleased to announce that Jill Kimiko Cowan will be joining our staff next month as our new economy reporter.
Jill comes to us from the Tennessean in Nashville, where she has been writing about growth and development in Franklin, one of that region’s fastest growing areas. Many of the topics she tackles are not unlike what we write about in Collin County.
Lately, she’s also been writing about a sexual harassment investigation involving a prominent Tennessee legislator.Before Nashville, Jill was a reporter at the Los Angeles Times Community News, covering communities in her hometown of Orange County.
Jill distinguished herself during our search with her curiosity about the economy, her insight into how that coverage touches everyday life and her interest in everything Texas.
Her self-described obsessions are “yoga, craft beer and TV with complicated women characters.” She also admits suffering from a “hereditary Bob Dylan obsession.”
She’s a 2011 graduate of UC Berkeley with a major in English and a minor in French.Jill’s start date is March 21, but please feel free to welcome her to our staff on Twitter @JillCowan.
