The Citizen Managing Editor & Audience Engagement Coordinator

 

Jamie Bogert

Jamie is a Philadelphia based writer who got her chops working for BUST Magazine after graduating in 2014 from Emerson College with a degree in journalism. She previously freelanced for a number of publications, took some time traveling throughout Argentina, led a 300 mile youth bike trip across the Berkshires, New York, and Vermont, and has since safely landed in Philly.

She enjoys ordering Grubhub when she should probably cook, forcing her bearded dragon to sit quietly and listen to her sing, and unabashedly indulging in a night of watching either Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street or Bachelor in Paradise.
