I’m an editor and writer based in Brooklyn, New York.
I worked with award-winning and emerging authors on developing narrative nonfiction, longform essays, and news features at Literary Hub as a senior editor. Before that, I was the lead online editor for PBS NewsHour’s weekend program, managing the team’s daily news coverage on the weekends while reporting on social movements and culture, and I also worked as an arts reporter/producer at PBS NewsHour, covering emerging artists and leading a series on contemporary poetry.
My work has been published by the Brooklyn Museum, Literary Hub, Orion Magazine, PBS NewsHour, the Poetry Foundation’s Harriet Books, the Washington Post, and the Boston Review, and chosen for the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture’s archive. I previously received a Kiplinger Fellowship in Public Affairs Journalism.
