My Portfolio
I have over a decade of experience as a writer. My work appears in Kinfolk Magazine, Vanity Fair, Vulture, and more. I have a journalism degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, and I've also worked in PR, marketing, and advertising.
I have a particular penchant for heavily-researched features, and subjects I love to explore include books, film and television, history, mental health, the natural world, fashion, and art. I’m always happy to consider commissions, collaborations, and other projects, so please feel free to contact me.
I’m currently seeking representation for my debut upmarket novel, a ghost story with gothic and horror elements.
If you’re a literary agent interested in learning more, I'd love to hear from you.
