I'm a writer and editor who covers the good things in life that make it all worthwhile. To me, that means food & drink, travel & the outdoors, fitness & health, and art & architecture. My work has appeared in over 40 publications like the New York Times, Outside, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, Healthline, and CNN, among others.
I studied history at Tulane University, but I grew up along the coast of Rhode Island. After graduation, I hung around New Orleans and later worked in New York City as a youth gardening instructor and cheesemonger. I finally started writing in Austin after getting acquainted with its (then) up-and-coming dining scene. I also reported on local dining news as associate editor of Eater DC while living in the Washington, D.C. area. As you can see, I've done lots of odd jobs along the way. Writing is the only thing that has ever stuck.
Later, I lived in Belgium and used it as a base to explore and write about destinations in Europe. But I've also interviewed an octogenarian tofu maker in Japan, eaten breakfast on the savanna in Kenya, tried scorpion-infused mezcal in Mexico, unearthed obscure cookie recipes in Alabama.
The COVID-19 pandemic has recently forced me to seek out adventures closer to my current home in upstate New York. So on most weekends, as weather permits, you can find me exploring hiking trails in the nearby Adirondacks, Catskills, Berkshires, and Green Mountains. I recently completed the famous Long Trail of Vermont — solo backpacking more than 270 miles through the wilderness, starting at the Massachusetts border and finishing in Canada.
I bring that same level of commitment and enthusiasm to creating compelling content for brands. As a writer, I can interpret ideas developed in-house and turn around clean, well-researched, and persuasive copy. As an editor, my skills also include envisioning, managing, and executing a content plan. Past and current clients include Intercontinental Hotels, Silversea, Marriott, Land Rover, Food Lion, Impossible Foods, and more.
