Development News Editor: 
Julekha Dash
Julekha Dash has lost track of all the places she has lived. There's Pittsburgh, where she grew up. There's Chicago,where she attended college and Bahston, where she lived after college. Then there was that year of culture shock in Birmingham, Ala.

But after six years of living in Baltimore, she can proudly call Baltimore her home. Well sort of. She splits her time between Baltimore and the Delaware beaches. In Baltimore, she enjoys the historic architecture, eclectic restaurants and the waterfront promenade that is an excellent place to go for a run.

Julekha was most recently a senior reporter for the Baltimore Business Journal, where she covered healthcare, biotech, and higher education. Prior to that, she wrote about technology work force issues for Computerworld.
When she is not reporting or writing, Julekha is watching movies in surround sound or traveling. She's been to Argentina, Peru, Portugal and Morocco in the last five years.
