Early life and education

Chozick grew up in a Jewish family[1] in San Antonio, Texas, where she began working in journalism writing for the San Antonio Express-News as part of a program whereby she would get school credit for working off campus.[2] She attended The University of Texas at Austin, where she was originally a journalism major, but switched to English and Latin American studies after three weeks.[2]

Career

Chozick began writing about Clinton in 2007, while working for The Wall Street Journal.[3] In 2008, she was a member of the traveling press of both Clinton and Barack Obama.[2] Previously, she worked in a number of different places, including Tokyo. After writing for the Journal for eight years, she joined the Times in 2011 to write about corporate media.[4] In 2013, she was promoted to the Times' political team, with a focus on Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family.[5] In 2016, she claimed that as a result of her reporting on Clinton, specifically on her allegedly clinching the Democratic nomination for president in June of that year, she had received death threats from supporters of Clinton's rival in this campaign, Bernie Sanders.[6]

She is the author of "Chasing Hillary," a memoir about covering Clinton that is being developed into a TV series by Warner Bros.
