Tess Lopez

I'm the digital managing editor for SUCCESS magazine, where I assign and edit stories at the intersection of personal development and business. When I'm not combing articles line by line, I double as a freelance writer, delivering lifestyle content ranging from earnest profiles to stories on homes, art and culture. I have bylines in Parents, SUCCESS, Business Insider, Atomic Ranch and more.

No editor (or writer!) is ever done learning, so much of my free time is spent with a head bent over my favorite glossies and an iced coffee in hand.
