I grew up in New York, where I got my first internship writing script coverage at a small production company — and later got poison ivy while weeding a director’s backyard. After graduating from college with a degree in Creative Writing, I wrote for the Santa Fe Reporter and the New York Post, covering tech startups, higher education, business, fashion and art.

Now I live in Colorado, where I’ve worked a stint as a Covid-era phlebotomist, helped launch a remote overnight library, and once crossed a glacier in tennis sneakers. All in the name of research.
