About Me

I’m a journalist based in Washington, D.C., where I’m currently editing breaking news and working on big-picture stories on energy and the environment, American trends, and women’s health as an associate editor at The Hill.

I previously spent three and a half years at The Atlantic, where in addition to reporting and writing I worked extensively on digital production, audience and engagement, newsletters, the development of special projects and products, and anything and everything to do with the magazine’s archives. My writing has appeared in publications including The Atlantic, VICE, The Nation, Washington City Paper, and Smithsonian Magazine and has earned citations by a slew of other journalists and academics and in more than one state legislative bill. The iOS app I helped develop and curate for The Atlantic won a Shorty Award. I was also part of the team behind The Atlantic’s interactive Life Timeline, which won the 2017 MPA Imagination Award.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2016, completing my degree summa cum laude in three years with honors in the English major. Before finding my way to journalism, I built up an eclectic resume, working stints at a theater in New York, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, a literary agency, a literary magazine, and a special events company. And before getting into all of that, I was growing up in Santa Cruz, California, and learning first-hand lessons about drought and the digital economy. Regrettably, I did not spend any of that time learning how to surf. I did gain a high schooler’s grasp of Spanish and, later, a more advanced understanding of the German language and approach to Vergangenheitsbewältigung.

I would love to have a chance to work with you. You can find me on LinkedIn here, or just email me here.
