Hi! I’m a culture and lifestyle writer.
My work has been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Teen Vogue, Vox, The San Francisco Standard, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more. I was previously a staff writer at Glamour and the Forward. I am also a freelance copywriter. I have an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa.
I live in San Francisco and write a weekly Substack about anxiety disorders, called “Uneasy Going.” Check it out and subscribe here.
