I’m a Brooklyn-based writer, editor, and collector of curiosities with a passion for offbeat stories and handmade details. My projects have ranged from crafting cute cupcake toppers for a birthday party story to trailing amateur archaeologists as they scour the city for overlooked treasures.

I’m currently the associate editor at Country Living. Prior to this gig, I was the assistant lifestyle editor at Parents, and also interned at Antiques and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. My writing has also appeared in Time Out New York and on MensFitness.com.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually crafting, exploring, or digging in the dirt. An avid dancer and sometimes-performer, I also regularly take ballet and modern classes at the Ailey School and the Mark Morris Dance Center.
