About Carla Herreria
I am a perpetual optimist with over a decade of national newsroom experience, reporting and assigning daily news across beats, guiding fast-moving coverage, and mentoring reporters to produce work that cuts through the noise.As a senior editor for HuffPost’s breaking news and general assignment desk, I helped manage and mentor a team of reporters in the U.S. and abroad who specialize in a wide range of beats, including social justice, women\'s health, environment, disability, criminal justice, politics, and race. I\'m a seasoned general assignment reporter who can cover everything from the biggest headlines in national breaking news to smart, digestible explainers on any topic.I recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Master of Applied Psychology Program, focusing on newsroom resilience, and how our life stories impact our resilience, sense of well-being, and can catalyze post-traumatic growth.
