We are thrilled to announce the hiring of our first female staff writer, Meg Bellino!

Meg graduated from the University of Michigan in 2013 where she ran the 800m, with the occasional 4x4. Most recently she was a member of the University of Arizona track team for her fifth year of eligibility. From the midwest, to the desert, she is happy to be settling down in Austin.

Besides breaking down barriers in the workplace, she is the proud mother of a cross-eyed cat named Mowgli.

Right now, she is managing her friend’s fantasy baseball team and they’ve been in first place all season. None of the other members of the league know they’re losing to a girl. ;)
