Kari Hulac is the Editor-in-Chief of Richmondside.

What I cover: As Editor-in-Chief, I oversee all of Richmondside's journalism.

My background: A Bay Area resident for most of my life, and an East Bay reporter and editor for 13 years, I have worn many hats in a journalism career spanning more than 25 years. I held several editorial leadership positions at the Bay Area News Group between 1997 and 2010, including editor of The (Hayward) Daily Review and features editor of The Oakland Tribune. I was a senior editor and assistant West Coast Editorial Director at local online news network Patch, and in 2015 worked as part-time breaking news editor at Bay City News.

I started my career as an education reporter in Corvallis, Ore., and still love writing feature stories today. When I'm not leading the newsroom, you might find me swimming in the bay, hiking the East Bay hills or headed out for a camping trip.
