I love telling stories with curiosity, empathy, and nuance, especially longform narrative features that let me dive into new worlds. I’m obsessive about asking questions, and trying things I’ve never tried. I am as fascinated by complexity as I am by delight.
I love features best, but here’s an incomplete list of forms I work in: profiles, personal essays, immersive journalism, travel writing, service journalism and how-to guides, Q&As, explainers, newsletters, poetry, comics, and more. You can find my work in over 22 print and online publications, including Wired, Vogue, GQ, NYMag.com, The Verge, Popular Mechanics, Longreads, Digg, Pacific Standard, Southwest: The Magazine, Victory Journal, Catapult, The Awl, Penthouse, The Outline, Jezebel, Thrillist and
I have a MFA from the University of British Columbia, and BA from NYU. I teach writing at City College of New York and Catapult. And I’m working on my interminable novel (agents, hi!).
