Iโ€™m a New York-based journalist who covers beauty and wellness, food and travel, and lifestyle. My work has appeared in Fortune, ELLE, Departures, Air Mail, Travel Leisure, and Womenโ€™s Health, among other outlets, and I have a Masterโ€™s Degree in Journalism from Columbia University and a Masterโ€™s Degree in English from the University of Edinburgh. I have been lucky enough to travel across the world, meet the changemakers and rulebreakers of various industries, and get an inside look at the trends that define our era, and I aim to share that knowledge with my readers. Confronted by a growing influx of information and content, I know how challenging it can be to find voices you can trust in this day-and-age. I believe itโ€™s more important than ever to produce reliable stories that are backed by my own experience and the expertise of my sources, and, whether writing about a new beauty movement or profiling a fitness-world disruptor, I strive to do just that.
