Courtney Teague is the Director of Audience at Civil Beat. She is the editor of Civil Beat’s newsletters, including the Morning Beat, and builds digital audiences across multiple platforms.

She holds degrees in English and philosophy from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where she caught the journalism bug as an editor of her college newspaper, Ka Leo O Hawaiʻi. Her first job in journalism was at Civil Beat, where she covered a variety of topics including state government and education as an intern and fellow.

Courtney’s reporting has since appeared in newspapers big and small across the world but she’s especially proud of the recipes and cooking tutorials she shares through her food blog, Feed the Soul.
