Talia Ralph

Deputy Breaking News EditorGlobalPost
Talia Ralph grew up bilingual in Montreal, and decided she wanted to be a journalist at the ripe age of 10. She earned an honors degree in multimedia journalism from Emerson College, and has written for Metro, Boston Magazine, WBUR.org, Flaunt Magazine, Roads and Kingdoms, and the Boston Globe. When she's not writing and editing, Talia can be found hiking and bouldering; staking out the most delicious food in whatever city she finds herself; and watching what she suspects is an above-average amount of documentary film.
