Hello! I’m a writer based in beautiful Seattle, WA. I write about unconventional communities, people, and comedy for online publications including The Atlantic, The Guardian, Vulture, BuzzFeed, Racked, and AfterEllen. I enjoy writing local stories for Real Change News, Seattle Met Magazine, and Curbed Seattle. I formerly served as Managing Editor of Seattle’s Child Magazine. Currently, I’m a Staff Writer at foundry10, an education research organization.

I like watching and writing TV. I wrote for Articulate with Jim Cotter, an arts & culture show on PBS WHYY. In 2017, I researched and field produced the MTV documentary, Prescription for Change: Ending America’s Opioid Crisis featuring Macklemore and President Obama.

Back in New York, I earned degrees in Journalism and Dramatic Writing at New York University and interned at Saturday Night Live. In LA, I worked with children on the spectrum, children with terminal illness, and managed a Holocaust museum.
