NY Times hires Megan McCrea (Micronesia)
The New York Times has tapped Megan McCrea (Micronesia 2007-09) as a senior staff editor for its Special Sections wing of the Print Hub. Recently, she freelanced as an editorial strategist for the book packager Connected Dots Media.
Her work has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Better Homes & Gardens, the San Francisco Chronicle, Mabuhay, and Poetry Flash.
She was a senior editor at Via, AAA’s award-winning travel and lifestyle magazine covering nine western states. There, she launched the magazine’s Arizona edition. She was also an assistant travel editor at Sunset magazine, overseeing coverage of the Southwest. Freshly back from the Peace Corps, she co-authored, with 6 other RPCVs, Other Places Publishing’s guidebook to her country of service, Federated States of Micronesia and Palau.
McCrea has a BA from Duke University.
She lives in Brooklyn with her boyfriend, her bicycle, and a whole lotta books.
Very impressive, Megan McCrea!
Good to see a daughter of Éire making good! Micronesia must have been a good kick off to your career. Kenya Ag V certainly set my life course in 1969-71.
