Celia Darrough is currently a freelance journalist covering national news and politics. She was previously the senior news editor at Bustle, where she oversaw special projects, in-depth reporting, and personal essays and op-eds about politics and news of the day.

Her byline has appeared in Refinery29, Thrillist, Mic, the Pacific Northwest Inlander, and various other places on the internet. As a young reporter, Celia focused on the health and public safety beats, and she still can't resist a good crime story.

Celia is a proud Alaskan who has lived most of her life in the Northwest and the Midwest, but still can't figure out where she wants to settle.
