In short:

Journalist!

In short-ish:

Associate editor at Vox Media’s PS, contributing food and farming writer at Ambrook Research. Interested in the forces that shape what we eat, how we love, and how we think. San Diego–raised, Boston-schooled.

At length:

I’m an alum of Emerson College’s honors program (2017) and Boston University’s graduate school of journalism (2023). I specialize in narrative and magazine-style reporting about culture and climate. My writing has been featured in The Boston Globe’s Sunday magazine, Bon Appétit, Civil Eats, Punch, Sierra, and elsewhere. I have held staff roles at The Boston Globe and Bustle Digital Group, and contributing roles at Cosmopolitan.com and InsideHook.

At longer:

Before THAT, I worked at several start-up publications from their earliest stages, including Away’s Here Magazine. When I graduated from Emerson in 2017, I moved to NYC as Away’s first editorial intern. I helped launch Here, an award-winning multi-platform magazine known for travel guides and narrative reports on creative communities around the world. As an intern and later the magazine’s print editor, I kick-started our newsletter, wrote over 100 articles across digital and print, and reported from 11 countries and 18 cities on five continents. Our cover stars ranged from the "world's best female chef" Daniela Soto-Innes to queer icon Jonathan Van Ness and *the* Serena Williams. Find my favorite reported stories and interviews from Here and beyond, well, here.

At long last:

And before alllll that, I was the first content editor at THINX from 2015-2017, where I developed a popular women’s health blog and wrote a weekly newsletter before weekly newsletters from brands were cool (read: "annoying" or "excessive"). I was once invited to Gloria Steinem's apartment to talk writing and period politics — turns out she too loves a bold accessory and the abolition of the tampon tax!

And because every personal website needs some useless fun facts,

my most harrowing wildlife encounters include:

•The time I locked eyes with a mature silverback in Uganda’s Impenetrable Forest

•The time I swam face-to-face with great whites in Gansbaai, South Africa

•The time(s) I stared down a roach the size of my thumb in Crown Heights, BK

Bonus content: I am a whole person with interests outside of work!

I surf (poorly). I eat (well). I cook, dance, and karaoke to early Rihanna (proficiently). I believe we, as a culture, deserve a Bloody Mary emoji. 🥫🍸
