About Me

By day, I write, edit and create multimedia content for an association magazine and scholarly journal. By night, I freelance for a spectrum of print and digital publications. I love digging deep for stories that connect people, place and possibility.

I was born and raised near Boston, spent a semester in Rome, Italy, enjoyed traveling through Europe and parts of the Middle East/North Africa, and now reside just outside Washington, D.C.

In May of 2009, I graduated from Colgate University with a B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies and Creative Writing. What does that mean? I’ve studied illicit shadow networks in Colombia, genocide in Rwanda, middle eastern politics, literary journalism and memoir writing.

Writing has always been the one thread that ties my life–and my passion for storytelling, culture and connections–together. I’m passionate about topics like education, health care, careers, travel and social justice. My work has been published in print and online publications, including Boston’s Weekly Dig, MetroWest Daily News, Community Advocate, Brazen Careerist, Transitions Abroad, Matador Network, Business Insider, and AOL Jobs.
