Maleesa Smith

Maleesa Smith is a writer and editor in the Austin area and a freelance contributor to HousingWire. After starting her career in community journalism, she pivoted to B2B media and joined HousingWire as an editor. Fast forward five years and she has since served in several editorial roles at HW Media, including managing editor of content solutions, followed by a role as the content and communications manager at a national appraisal management company. When Maleesa isn’t groaning over an Oxford comma, you can find her enjoying the outdoors, ice skating or obsessing over her cat.
