Bio
I'm a writer and reporter currently at The New York Times as the inaugural fellow on the obituaries desk.
​​
My work has appeared in The Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Business Insider, The American Prospect, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Cosmopolitan, The Penn Gazette, Catapult, MEL Magazine, 34th Street Magazine, and other outlets. I graduated from The University of Pennsylvania in 2020, where I worked as editor-in-chief of 34th Street Magazine and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in English. They even let me write a thesis about vampires!
​
I enjoy feature writing about topics like the death industry, pop culture, and interesting, overlooked people.
​
I'm open to freelance opportunities and full-time work starting June 2022.
