Journalist
I write features for The Guardian and The Observer magazines. I’ve also written for The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, and i-D.
I love interviewing people and am interested in social issues, motherhood, and design. I’ve had the joy of capturing thrilling tales for The Guardian’s infamous Experience column, interviewing celebrities for This Much I Know, and visiting west coast cities to listen to the experiences of homeless people for Outside in America. A career highlight was Margaret Atwood penning the intro to a piece I wrote on abortion travel agents.
Below are some of my fave stories. Read more of my writing here.
