Regardless of the subject, I aim to write pieces that reveal how major cultural and political shifts affect the ways we live and relate to one another.

Whether it’s an investigation into book banning in North Dakota (a finalist for the Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award), a deep dive into Confederate monuments on college campuses (selected for Longreads’ Best of 2019), or a feature on the rise of sapphic pop music (didn’t win any awards but a lot of fun to report), I arrive early to conversations shaping the zeitgeist and deliver stories your group chats will be talking about tomorrow.
