Two NerdWallet staffers leave, looking for other work

Two NerdWallet editorial staffers have recently left the personal finance website and are looking for new jobs.

Jackie Zimmerman worked as a personal finance writer for NerdWallet for two years and eight months. She has also been a contributing editor to A Women’s Thing, a women’s feminist literary publication.

Zimmerman also worked as an editorial assistant at Money magazine. She holds a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

James Royal covered investing for NerdWallet.

His work has been featured in the Washington Post, New York Times, and the Associated Press. Previously Royal worked for The Motley Fool as a stock analyst and writer for eight years, and he literally wrote the book on cool as part of his doctoral work in English at the University of Florida.
