Senior City Editor

Skylar is based in Nashville, TN. After graduating from the University of Missouri – Columbia’s broadcast journalism program in 2020 (and a stint in New York City with NBC News before that), Skylar moved to Kansas City, MO to help launch KCtoday. When she’s not writing, you can find Skylar flipping through racks at the thrift store, catching a late-night concert, or frequenting a vibey East Nashville cocktail bar.
