Editor at The Daily Muse
As The Daily Muse's Managing Editor, Adrian's passion is helping you kick ass at your career. Formerly head of online communications for the George Washington University Med Center, she has 9+ years experience in the communications world and an MBA from Pepperdine. She (usually) resides in Los Angeles and spends her spare time on planes. Say hi on Twitter @adriangranzella.
Meet Ana, nerd and designer at heart. Ana likes to spend her time coding up user interfaces and creating beautiful designs for an awesome web experience. She loves interior design, modern and vintage furniture, making delicious home cooked meals, and the French language. She has an elegant black cat and a silly french bulldog; both incredibly adorable. Find this muse on github and on Twitter @anaenders.
Elliott is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, but opted for start-ups over 16-hour days as a line cook (for the better hours, of course). Previously, Elliott spent 6 years making Seamless.com into a nationally known brand, and 1 month as a culinary assistant on Iron Chef America. When he isn't Musing, he can be found playing tennis, making chicken stock, or understanding the meaning of rap lyrics on rapgenius.com.
As an Editor at The Daily Muse, Erin has an unhealthy adoration of taking sentences and making them shine. In her search to figure out what she wanted to do with her life, Erin journeyed to the Galapagos to try her hand at environmental filmmaking, jetted to Copenhagen to study Urban Design, and spent hours in the kitchen contemplating quitting it all for culinary school. Follow her continued adventures on Twitter @erinaceously.

Fatima’s job is to make sure that there are always amazing companies and exciting opportunities to be found. Fatima received her bachelor’s degree from Harvard where she was involved in many editorial pursuits, and came to The Muse after working with TFA in Chicago. When not making The Muse world a better place, she can be found wandering NYC, out for dinner with friends, or embarking on new adventures. Say hi on Twitter @floeliger.
We typically see Meha dancing to the latest jams while coding up new Muse features. A USC grad, she founded Women in Computing, choreographed dance shows, volunteered in South Central LA, and interned with Microsoft & CitrixOnline all before landing her first job at Goldman Sachs. Besides Musing (and missing REAL Mexican food), she’s most likely avoiding awkward silences, contemplating her next read, or planning a vacation. Say hi @mehaagrawal
Niki ensures we feature kickass companies on The Muse so you can find an awesome job at a company you love. Prior to joining The Muse, she handled all Marketing strategies for the Lowry Group at MSSB. Niki holds a bachelors degree from the Haas School of Business at U.C. Berkeley and resides in San Francisco. When not musing, you can find her wandering around various Farmers Markets. Say hi on Twitter @nikilowry.
Yusuf is a chef, avid ukulele player, and hip-hop artist. Unfortunately he does all of those poorly, so he sticks to his day job writing software. Prior to The Muse, Yusuf has worked as a developer at companies both big (Microsoft, IBM) and small (dotCloud, Transloc), and as an Associate Product Manager at Google. Find him on github, hacker news, or say hi on Twitter @ysimonson.
