I’m a staff writer at New York magazine’s The Strategist, where I cover travel and the outdoors.
I was previously the features editor at PAPER, where I wrote celebrity cover stories and reported on stan culture.
I have a Substack about the movies I watch on free streaming services, and another one where I write cookbook reviews.
I’m also a freelance book consultant, editor and ghostwriter, specializing in lifestyle, food, and travel-related projects but open to all sorts of things. I’ll very happily help you meet your deadline (or won’t judge you if you’ve already missed it).
I was born in Tauranga, Aotearoa, and grew up in Boorloo, Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar. I live in Brooklyn.
Open to all correspondence — essay-length apologies from ex-lovers preferred, press releases also okay:
