Greetings!

I am a writer and journalist based in New York City, where I cover a wide range of topics, both locally and nationally.

Since June 2025, I have been a National Affairs Fellow at SALON.com, covering the latest political news and developments in Washington, D.C, from Capitol Hill to the White House and beyond. My coverage has included in-depth looks at gerrymandering, Trump-appointed state prosecutors, Republican Party infighting, and much more.

Outside of SALON, I previously worked as an intern Staff Writer for Straus News in NYC, covering culture, politics, crime, infrastructure- even neighborly disputes over mailboxes.

My work has also appeared in TimeOut New York, Byline, Brooklyn Magazine, Bare Knuckle Press, amNY, and others. They include stories about diners, modern-day knights, the city’s oldest butcher shop, landlords, hockey, and more.

I earned my master’s degree from New York University’s Literary Reportage program, where my thesis detailed the systemic problems affecting emergency medical services in the Bronx and the people they serve. (I even worked there as part of my reporting). I graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology.
