Michallie K. Harrison
I'm Michallie K. Harrison, a journalist, writer and host covering politics, public policy, national security, and veterans' issues. After 21 years in the U.S. Army, I built an independent reporting career focused on explaining complex issues and how they affect people's lives. My work includes published articles, television interviews, and live audience discussions. I'm seeking remote newsroom opportunities where I can contribute strong research, clear writing, and informed perspective.
