1/ Today was @catlikeDanimal’s last day at the @TexasTribune as an Engagement Fellow. We were so lucky to work with her this Fall.

HEY hiring managers: She's job hunting. Cat just graduated with her master's.

She’s fantastic and would be a great addition to your team.
2/ As an engagement fellow, @catlikeDanimal worked on newsletters, socials and reported out explainers for our site.

She helped readers navigate and understand what was a really busy couple of months of news — and I was always grateful when she was on shift.
3/ She pitched, wrote and deployed this really fantastic thread explaining what to expect from COVID-19 numbers during the holidays.


Cat was constantly thinking of how we could help the audience with threads like this. https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1331745130144030722
4/ She did a great step-back thread looking at the most recent scandals involving Texas AG Ken Paxton.

This is one of the things I send people who are trying to get caught up. https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1313871499401412608
6/ She worked on our voter guide, helping readers prepare for a huge election https://twitter.com/bobbycblanchard/status/1308126857502564352
7/ She has another story coming out soon that I will share as soon as it publishes.

That story does what Cat does best: Helps the reader understand how the news impacts them.
8/ Her copy was always clean; her writing always concise. Cat was constantly thinking about our audience and for our audience.
9/ Cat was also incredibly fun and pleasant to work with, talk with and be around.

We met weekly for a 40-minute virtual check-in, and would often be done with our agenda in 20 minutes. I was always trying to find an excuse to keep our check-ins going.
10/10 Cat made me laugh every week. Our check-ins and her virtual presence were a very bright light in what has been a difficult fall of news.

Anyone would be lucky to work with her.
