Hi! I’m a culture and lifestyle writer based in San Francisco.
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.
