At Vox Media, I edited essays, features, interviews, and scene reports for the Cut’s “Keep It Moving” campaign for Milk, and wrote editorial copy for Zepbound’s “Changing the Thread” campaign in New York magazine. At Future Forest, I edit client newsletters and eDMs and develop brand voice guidelines and style manuals.

At the Cut, New York Magazine, I moved from freelance contributor through editorial roles to senior news editor, assigning and editing daily coverage and optimizing headlines and metadata. My reporting and writing have appeared in New York magazine, Vogue, GQ, the BBC, and other publications.
