About Me
Hello! I'm an award-winning writer and editor with more than 20 years of experience in culturally-focused journalism. I am currently the publisher of Unpackd and a contributing editor with Fathom. I trained as a fellow with The New York Times Institute for Journalism and have written for the Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Fodor's Travel, HuffPost, Time Out NY, and many more. I have served as managing editor for Further, a luxury travel platform, and as associate editor for the literary press Estreno Plays. In 2021, I appeared on the Break Into Travel Writing podcast to share industry tips with aspiring writers. I hold an M.P.S. in global communications from Georgetown and a B.A. in Spanish from Rutgers. More on my background here.
