Today to help Kids Today cover JPMA, the ABC Kids Expo and the conference,” Hunt said. “Between my background in community newspapers as well as retail management, I feel like this is a good fit, both for me and the readers.”
Before joining Furniture Today, Hunt spent a year managing Gwen’s Interiors, an interior design shop/retail store in Madison, N.C. Prior to that, she was managing editor for the biweekly newspaper, The (Madison) Messenger for five years. She had also spent a year as managing editor of a group of five weeklies near Baton Rouge, La., and six years in retail management, including home décor store Kirkland’s. A New Orleans native, she is a graduate of Louisiana State University.
Tanya K. Merritte, who has been KT’s managing editor for the past four years, is joining the Furniture/Today staff as copy/layout editor. Merritte will continue to work on special projects with KT and travel with the staff to cover trade shows and the conference.
“Tanya has done a great job here at Kids Today, and we’re glad she’ll still be working with us on special projects,” said Lisa Casinger, KT editor. “Gerri’s background and experience will be a great asset to the magazine and we’re happy to have her on board.”
