Kristen Wile, senior editor of Charlotte magazine and editor of Charlotte Home + Garden, moved to Charlotte in 2012 from Washington, D.C., where she worked for The Washington Post. Her first job at the paper was sorting mail, before she joined the Weekend section and Going Out Guide. She later moved to the news floor to work on the video team, first as an editor, and eventually helped launch PostTV. She and her husband, Jon, live in Plaza Midwood with their pet tortoise, Desmond, and two pitties, Rosie and Titan.
