Hi, thanks for stopping by.
I'm a Brooklyn-based editor and writer who covers culture and politics. I write a weekly newsletter, the News Briefing, at Current Affairs.
About Me
Over the past decade, I've reported on the rise of vegan food in New Orleans, "exotic meat" in New York City, an oyster farm in South Carolina, elections in Connecticut, Louisiana and New York, chamber music in the deserts of Utah, the Gulf South Green New Deal, an intentional living community that supports veterans living with PTSD, baguettes, the social strains of modern technology, and Joan Didion's brain.
My work has appeared in Outside Magazine, The Washington Post, The Believer, Insider, The New Orleans Advocate, and more. In 2017, I hosted OffBeat Magazine's music news radio show, aired on WHIV in New Orleans. From December 2022 to October 2024, I was the Managing Editor at Fifty Grande, an award-winning music and travel magazine, where I started an internship program and developed the "Festivals" section.
In May 2022, I graduated from New York University with a Masters of Fine Arts in Literary Reportage. My MFA thesis used a mix of memoir and reportage to examine the interpersonal costs of the United States's culture of consumption. Or, as my thesis advisor preferred for me to say, I wrote about my relationship with my mother. A book-length version is underway.
Drop me a line using the contact page. I am always open to chatting about work, writing, etc.
