I've been a professional journalist since 2012. My early career included staff roles at Marie Claire, Lucky, and Fashionista, where I reported on fashion, beauty, and consumer trends before transitioning to freelance work in 2019.

Now, I write features and profiles exploring fashion, retail, and culture for publications including The Wall Street Journal, The Cut, Vogue, Vogue Business, Business of Fashion, and Nylon, among others.

I get most excited by work that examines the cultural forces behind how we shop, dress, and engage with the world around us. If you have an assignment along those lines, I'd love to hear from you.
