Hi! I’m Lorelei Smillie, a writer and journalist from NYC covering money and power.

At Bloomberg News, I’ve covered space, aviation and defense. I’m currently reporting on technology and cybersecurity. Read my web-published clips here.

After graduating from Colorado College, I wrote about climate tech and business for Colorado Media Group and its three publications: NORTH Magazine, the Southern Colorado Business Forum & Digest, and the Southern Colorado Insider (formerly the Colorado Springs Indy).

In 2025, I wrote for the Denver Gazette, where I covered politics, local business news and features. I also reported on municipal government in Winter Park, CO for the Sky-Hi News.

I have additional bylines in Colorado Politics, The Colorado Springs Gazette, and the Staten Island Advance.
