About

I am an experienced writer an editor.

With staff experience and bylines in The Daily Beast, The Cut, Thrillist, and Vice, I have accumulated a decade of editorial expertise at top national publications. I am a true font of ideas and am passionate about telling meaningful, useful stories with a strong point of view.

In the last 10 years, I’ve reported and edited stories on just about every topic—the Trump administration, the travel industry, lifestyle trends, immigration policies, entertainment news, student loan debt, reproductive justice, the US labor movement, two presidential elections, and even breaking Taco Bell news. In that time I have developed an extensive network of contacts and the essential writing, editing, communications, producing, and reporting skills to deliver well-sourced and compelling stories for print magazines, digital publications, and a podcast. My work history is a testament to my versatility: I have experience with editing breaking news stories, working on social media strategy plans, copywriting for newsletters and internal communications, working with creative teams to develop leading graphics for digital content, working on television and audio journalism, recording voiceovers for video content, and producing academic research. I am always open to learning more and strive for excellence regardless of subject matter.

While at NYU for my Bachelor’s degree I served as the Editor-in-Chief of NYU’s student blog, NYU Local, and section editor for NYU’s travel publication, NYU Baedeker. While in school, I held internships at Complex and Vice, and was employed by The FADER. I worked as an assistant at the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management. I completed an undergraduate thesis on U.S. detention centers and was selected to be part of the Diversity Undergraduate Research Incubator, where I completed research on sexual assault responses on college campuses in U.S. and Mexico.

I am a graduate of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Reporting the Nation Master’s Program at New York University. During my program, I was one of six students selected to help write, produce, and edit a news feature on Venezuelan migrants for PBS Newshour. Other reporting I published through the program included an investigation into the dire conditions in NYCHA and what journalism school presidents have to say about the increasingly volatile media job market, which was featured in Politico. While in grad school, I worked at The Cut as a Nights and Weekend Editor and then Mic as a Staff Writer.

Following grad school, I worked for The Week Junior. We launched the print magazine in March 2020, during the height of the pandemic. The weekly print publication served children between the ages of 8 and 14. I was responsible for managing reader submissions, increasing reader engagement, running the weekly children’s book author profile column, and other weekly columns and articles. During that time I learned how to work with a small team on a print publication on tight weekly deadlines.

After The Week Junior, I began at as a staff writer Thrillist, where I covered lifestyle, food, travel, and social media news. Soon, I honed in on beats covering labor and travel news. I pitched the package “Better Than You Found It,” which focused on providing serviceable stories to the Thrillist audience. The package was later sold as a sponsored package to Corona. I also developed the strategy to secure the talent for our two leading franchises, Wander Musts and My Day Off. I pitched, booked, and conducted interviews with Grammy Winner Doechii, Super Bowl Champion Brandon Graham, Abbott Elementary star Tyler James Williams, Severance star Alia Shawkat, and numerous other notable figures.

It wasn’t just celebrity interviews and travel news at Thrillist. I also wrote serviceable guides on travel tips, public health, and major industry shifts. I developed and established a relationship with the Biden White House, and interviewed Transit Secretary Pete Buttigieg three times over the course of a year. I also wrote features on babies racking up airline miles in their first year of life, former militia men leading walking tours, and the families of murder victims traveling cross country in order to seek justice. I strived to be the best I could be for my team. I used professional development funds for copy editing classes to brush up on AP style, was the co-lead of the Women’s Employee Resource Group, and created reporting resources for all as we pivoted our site’s editorial objectives. I helped colleagues develop their pitches, wrote additional stories to help our team meet output goals, and assisted in pitching stories for other writers on a daily basis.

While reporting out the 40 to 50 stories I wrote each month, I used Reddit, Facebook, public records, LinkedIn, old newspaper records, and numerous other avenues to develop sources. I took every SEO training available to me, and can use SemRush, Parse.ly, and Google Analytics to track the performance of my stories and use the tools to inform how I craft SEO headlines, deks, and slugs.

I currently edit between 10 and 15 national news stories a day for The Daily Beast, where I was promoted from part-time editor to News Editor in January 2026. I work with a team on three continents and across time zones to produce voice-driven tabloid journalism as part of a 24-hour news operation.

There has been no point in my career where I have not applied myself fully — not only to my own success but to the success of the team I am working with. I can write fun and engaging newsletters (and have), I can capture exciting social video (and have), and can appear on TV and podcasts to talk about my work (and have).

I am flexible about how I next apply the skills I’ve developed in the future. I believe great storytelling provides context, clarity, and never wastes the audience’s time.
