In short:

Journalist!

In short-ish:

Award-winning writer-reporter; associate editor at Vox Media’s Popsugar; contributor to food and farming magazine Offrange. 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). My character-driven, narrative-style reporting has received honors and awards from the Society for Features Journalism, the Indigenous Journalists Association, and the association for North American Agriculture Journalism. My work — covering everything from internet culture and gender to food justice, food policy, climate change, and innovation — has been published by Civil Eats, Sierra, The Boston Globe Sunday magazine, Bon Appétit, Investigate Midwest, and more. I have held staff roles at The Boston Globe and Bustle Digital Group, and contract 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.

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. 🥫🍸
