I am an endlessly curious storyteller with a focus on culture and the arts.

My writing has been published in ELLE, Artnews, Oprah Daily, the Observer, BOMB, Newsweek, Artsy, Fiction Writers Review, Publishers Weekly, Business Insider, and Teen Vogue among others.

Born in Las Vegas and raised in Southern California, I graduated from American University in D.C. with a B.A. in Journalism. I am a contributing writer at the Northwest Review and a member of the National Book Critics Circle, where I served on the panel for the Barrios Books in Translation Prize.

Currently, I am a Staff Writer at MO4, where I cover news across the Middle East and North Africa region.

With experience in academic writing, copywriting, conceptual thinking/brand strategy, I welcome all freelance assignments.

I split my time between New York City and Cairo, Egypt.
