Background


Hi there, and thank you for stopping by.

Bios can sometimes feel like stilted snapshots.

There’s always more to the story.

For now, I’ll leave you with these pieces:

I am a storyteller, journalist, screenwriter, and triplet who grew up on the outskirts of a town named Boring in rural Maryland.

As a child I was fascinated by humans and nature, and the imbalances I sensed between these things. I felt freest outside in the backyard, where my Dad kept a garden. I also felt freest in my mind, where I’d often see stories play out like movies—so many images, so many plotlines, so much color.

Before I learned how to read or write, I’d narrate these “mind movies” to my siblings. It felt to me like painting with words, and in learning how to put those words onto paper I think I stepped into something of a river. By seven years old I was filling journals and cutting gym class to write letters to the White House. There was so much I wanted to say.

If the acorn theory—the idea that people enter their lifetime already encoded with the unique potential that is theirs alone to realize—holds true, these early moments were like faint etchings of some of the work I have since gone on to do.

My first feature-length film, THE OFFER, is a magical-realist thriller that is currently in pre-production with Killer Films (Past Lives, Carol, Still Alice). I co-wrote it with two wildly talented women, and the process reawakened that childhood movie-making mind that had long gone dormant.  

My career as a journalist has been guided mostly by curiosity. I’ve gotten chefs and musicians to let me interview them as they’ve battered chicken-fried pork. I’ve 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. I love asking questions and I love being surprised by the answers.

My writing has appeared in The New York Times, NPR, GQ, Variety, and Longreads among other outlets, and my essays have been finalists in the Tucson Festival of Books Literary Awards and the New Millennium Writing Awards.

Prior to freelancing, I spent a decade steeped in the world of magazine editing, working as the Senior Features Editor at Harper’s Bazaar, and as a Senior Associate Editor at Billboard. I was mentored by the late Vanity Fair contributing editor Patricia Bosworth, who quite literally invited me into “the party” of life as a writer (she threw the best literary shindigs at her Hells Kitchen apartment). She was wonderful and generous, and a true teacher. 

Most of my time is spent in Maryland, a place I love for its fern-tessellated forests and for the way its green summers seem to reach back into deep time. If I sneak away, it’s often to the wild, unmoored beaches of Galicia on the western coast of Spain. I think that nook of the world is something of a soul home for me.
