Meet AVLtoday’s Editorial Coordinator

SHARI TINGLE EC 6AM

Hey Asheville, Shari here. 👋 Occasionally you’ll see my face at the bottom of the newsletter + then I seem to disappear for a while. Our editors have received quite a few emails asking what happened to me + where I’ve gone. (This is incredibly sweet, by the way.)

Don’t worry: I am safe. No need to call Liam Neeson.

The answer is simply that I am working with another market that day. Unlike our editors who live + work in their markets every day, I am the Editorial Coordinator for 6AM City, our parent company. My job is to support our editors across all seven markets, which doesn’t always look the same. On days/weeks when an editor is out of office, I support their co-editor in any way they need support that day. Other times, I am planning ahead + working on future projects.

But on any given day, I am proudly working for 6AM City.

A little bit more about me:

I am originally from California, but lived in Georgia, Germany, Chicago, and a few cities in SC before settling down in Greenville, SC in Aug. 2019.

I studied Theatre Arts + English Literature at Francis Marion University, in Florence, SC.

On my last trip to Asheville (well, near Asheville) I got to hike Bearwallow Mountain + fulfill my lifelong dream of petting a cow. It was magical. 🐮

Feel free to reach out with any questions or hiking recommendations for the next time I’m lucky enough to stay in your city.
