Bio
Allie Johnson
I've worked as a freelance writer for years, and Korrena stands out as one of my favorite editors. I worked with Korrena when she was managing editor at Bankrate Insurance, and collaborating with her was a fantastic experience. Korrena is an extremely talented and detail-oriented editor who asks all the right questions, quickly spots weaknesses in copy and makes spot-on suggestions for how to fix issues and strengthen stories. In addition to her excellent editorial skills, Korrena is just a really lovely person who genuinely cares about her writers and colleagues. Any publication would be lucky to have Korrena on its masthead.
