For the past eight years I have worked as a freelance editor, writer, and screenwriter. My first feature-length film, The Offer, is currently in pre-production with Killer Films (Past Lives, Carol, Still Alice). In addition to co-writing the script with two wildly talented women, I helped prepare the pitch decks, mood boards, and marketing materials. I love painting a visual and narrative picture.
Prior to freelancing, I spent nearly a decade steeped in the world of magazine editing. As a Senior Associate Editor at Billboard, I conceived and oversaw a weekly three-page section that fused music, fashion, culture, and art as the magazine was being relaunched. One of the great joys of my time there was cultivating an esteemed portfolio of writers whose words and experiences I shepherded into news stories and features. It was a space of great play and creativity amid the breakneck pace of a newsroom.
As a journalist, my work has appeared in places like the New York Times, Longreads, GQ, and NPR. I have tagged along with artists in search of precious obsidian glass and have spent entire days on sod farms investigating where the ground we stand on at music festivals comes from. Perhaps it was my upbringing on the outskirts of town quite literally named Boring, but I believe that everything is interesting if you really, truly look.
Beyond the resume, my world is powered by a magpie fascination with neuroscience, spirituality, communication, and creativity. I love finding ways to constellate the chaos of our human experience into something whole.
If I’m not in Maryland, a place I love for its fern-tessellated forests and its green summers, chances are I’ve snuck away to the wild beaches of Galicia on the western coast of Spain. That nook of the world has got something of a magnetic pull on my heart.
