Elna McHilderson says howdy! She’s the Managing Editor for the Cheezburger site and Editorial Lead for the Trending Team. She oversees a brilliant and hilarious team of writers who provide content on viral internet stories, videos, and, of course, memes for the brands Failblog, Memebase, ICanHas, Animal Comedy, Cheezcake, and Geek Universe. She also contributes to the written content, making sure the reporting is kept fresh and active. If you have any submissions of viral content, she’s your girl. She's a certified Meme Queen. If you have the honor of befriending her, your inbox will never be barren of the most recent viral hilarity. She has a long background in internet culture, and not just because she was born to the generation that made it popular (where my fellow millennials at??!), but she has also worked at pioneering internet culture sites such as Buzzfeed, Rebel Circus, and more. She has worked at Cheezburger for several years now and is in love with having a front seat to the evolution of the internet. Her favorite part of being constantly online, though? The stupidest memes you ever did lay your eyes on! Duh.
