Hi, this is Kathy Wang. Thank you for stopping by.
I’m a Brown University graduate with an honors degree in English (nonfiction track). Currently, I’m a full-time food and features reporting intern at The Dallas Morning News. I graduate from Northwestern University’s Medill School with a master’s degree in journalism in August 2026.
Last summer, I was a content and editorial intern at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, where I primarily worked for their Magazine. Before that, I worked at two NPR member stations, Connecticut Public Radio (WNPR) and WGBH in Boston, as a radio talk show intern and reporter. In college, I was a senior editor on the 134th editorial board of The Brown Daily Herald, Brown’s independent student-run daily newspaper. I’ve won three Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence awards, in the breaking, conversational podcast and arts journalism categories.
I’m also a creative nonfiction writer, mostly on themes of displacement, family/kinship, language and intimacy. I wrote my undergraduate honors thesis on maternal family history during the Cultural Revolution in Beijing (please email for a copy). My pieces on childhood, growth and family won Brown’s most prestigious CNF award in 2024 and were shortlisted again in 2025.
When I’m not writing or reporting, you can find me in the kitchen, at cafes and speakeasies, or dreaming about the days when I’ll get a puppy.
