Tim Hyland, Professional Content Writer / Journalist

Background and Professional Experience

I have 12 years of professional experience as a writer, journalist and editor, having worked both in newspapers (three different papers in Pennsylvania and Maryland) and at an Ivy League university (three different writing/editing jobs here at the University of Pennsylvania.)

Currently, I serve as Editor-in-Chief for the Wharton Magazine (alumni magazine for The Wharton School), overseeing all editorial direction for the magazine. In that role I've interviewed such prominent individuals as Sen. Ted Kaufman of Delaware, Dr. Mehmet Oz of "The Dr. Oz Show," Tesla Motors/SpaceX/PayPal founder Elon Musk, automotive expert J.D. Power and many others.

I also serve as college football writer for About.com and am an active freelance writer in general -- my work has appeared in publications such as Fast Company, the Philadelphia City Paper, GO magazine, the Washington Times, the Philadelphia Business Journal and many others.

I am a regular contributor to the Knowledge@Wharton business/research network and have extensive knowledge of SEO and social networking. I am adept at helping companies and small businesses create content for their websites.

I have a B.A. in journalism from Penn State and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland.
