Courtney comes to Boston magazine after a four-and-a-half year tenure at Boston.com and the Boston Globe, where she headed the EPpy-award winning Things to Do section online and contributed regularly to the lifestyle sections of the paper and to the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine.

Courtney prides herself on random knowledge of Boston's neighborhoods and nightlife, and when she isn't writing or editing, she's probably shopping, running, at a concert, or drinking craft beer.
