I’m very happy to announce the following additions to our editorial staff:

She previously worked for the Telegraph as a features writer, focused on digital pieces at the the short and long ends of the Quartz curve. She earlier was a business reporter, and a participant in a highly selective Telegraph fellowship program that gave her exposure to a range of beats. Olivia covered news for the Press Association and Media Wales, and wrote a travel guidebook to Bogota. She has a master’s in journalism from City University London and a bachelor’s in philosophy from Harvard. She’s already worked that philosophy training into some Quartz articles—impressive!
