Tierney, Washington Business Journal Reporter

We’ve come across quite a few Cheerleaders/Dancers that are television reporters. We’ve also found a few radio reporters, but Tierney of the AIFA DC Body Armor is our first print reporter.

She earned her BA in English from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. At Mary Washington, Tierney was Associate Editor of the school newspaper, The Bullet and performed on university dance team.

Tierney’s now a web/general assignment reporter for the Washington Business Journal. She writes 6 to 8 daily news stories that are posted on the paper’s home page that cover a variety of beats in the D.C. area. Some are more feature-oriented, while others are breaking news stories like earnings, real estate transactions, mergers, and company expansions.

Tierney also writes the Commercial Real Estate brief section that runs in the weekly print edition of the paper.

Ultimately, Tierney says she’d like to move to California and get into magazine writing and do feature-length articles and profiles.
