Most recently, I was the co-Director of Content at Supermaker, a media startup for makers and creators, where I oversaw the editorial strategy and a team of writers.

Prior to that, I was a staff writer at Refinery29 covering gender, culture, and work. While there, I wrote a spectrum of work—from essays to news articles—and created some of the most popular series in our vertical. I was also Deputy Editor at feminist online magazine Everyday Feminism, a columnist at Levo League and Lattice, where I wrote a bi-weekly column called “The Path,” as well as an SEO copywriter for personal finance company SoFi.

Before that, I spent years working as a freelance journalist, contributing countless essays and reported articles on topics across identity, culture, and politics to outlets like Slate, Wired, Glamour, Brooklyn Magazine, and Vice.

I’m currently mainly focused on my visual art practice, but remain open to exciting collaborations and commissions in the writing sphere. If you have a collaboration idea, feel free to get in touch!
