About

I'm a freelance writer, journalist and audio producer based in Brooklyn. I grew up between Massachusetts and California before moving to Oregon for college, where I studied English Literature and Creative Writing. 

I've had stints at Harper'sNew York, and T Magazine. I spent the past few years at The New York Times and Serial, where I did a mix of reporting, audio production and design work, which you can see online and in print. My freelance writing and fact-checking can be found around the internet.

I also write fiction, and graduated in 2025 with an MFA in fiction from Brooklyn College. During my MFA I was the fiction and design editor for The Brooklyn Review. I continue to teach creative writing and journalism at Brooklyn College. I am currently working on a novel and a book of short stories.

When I'm not working I sew, run and hang around museums.
