Claim your profileHi, I'm Rilee — an Editorial Development Manager at 6AM City, the fastest-growing local media company in the US.I started my career in secondary English education (read: lots of teaching, reading, and editing) before transitioning to the world of digital media and local journalism with LALtoday. I fell in love with local storytelling + the art of educating and activating my community. After a few years of writing, content creation, and being one half of the LALtoday machine, I transitioned again to something a bit closer to my roots as the Editorial Development Manager (i.e., back to a lot of teaching, reading, and editing). I love what I do and how it so seamlessly combines my experiences in the classroom with my time as a writer.I'm passionate about supporting our team of talented storytellers from Greenville to Seattle and everywhere in between. When I'm not thinking about newsletter-first content, you can find me teaching pilates + yoga or reading the next thing on my TBR. If you share my interests in local journalism, health + fitness, or the latest BookTok read, I'd love to connect.
