Kimberly Winston

I was born in Dayton, Ohio and raised in New York City and Kingwood, Texas. I attended the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in theater. In 1993, I attended the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and graduated in 1994. It was there that I developed an interest in religion reporting, thanks to the influence of my favorite teacher, Ari Goldman, former religion reporter for the New York Times. My work has appeared in The Dallas Morning News, Newsday, The Washington Post, USA Today, The San Diego Union Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The San Jose Mercury News, The Chicago Tribune and on Beliefnet.com. In 2005, I received the American Academy of Religion award for excellence in reporting on religion in media with over 100,000 circulation. I am the author of two books, and am currently at work on a third. Since 1994, I have lived in and reported about religion from the San Francisco Bay Area.
