Cassie co-founded and raised $10M+ in her five years as Co-Executive Director of Resolve Philly, a community impact newsroom delivering reporting by and for Philadelphians.

A thought leader and speaker on civic engagement, local news strategy and innovation, and equitable partnerships, Cassie is an engaging presenter and unapologetic about the space she occupies. 

Cassie was named a 2024-2025 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. She spent her year of study as part of this highly competitive, mid-career full-time research fellowship exploring the impact of the evolving social contract between journalists and communities and its impact on the intersection of local news and democracy.

Cassie works with stakeholders in local news to design and implement strategies that build civic engagement, increase access to high-quality news, and serve our collective liberation.
