Margaret J. Kern

Margaret reports on finance and global markets, but she likes to make numbers feel human. She’s fascinated by how economic trends affect real people, not just charts and graphs. Some days she’s analyzing market reports, other days she’s talking to entrepreneurs, investors, or anyone whose story sheds light on the bigger picture.

She believes complex topics can be made understandable without losing nuance. Margaret enjoys breaking things down so readers can make sense of the news and see how it impacts their lives.

When she’s not crunching numbers or chasing stories, Margaret can usually be found hiking, reading about history, or testing out new coffee blends — anything that sparks curiosity.
