About
I'm a freelance journalist based in New York who writes profiles, features and essays. Previously I was a staff writer at ELLE magazine, a factchecker (and sometimes a writer) at New York magazine and a reporter at newspapers in St. Louis, Wyoming and Queens. In 2020 I won the Mirror Award for best profile of the year.
