WRITER. EDITOR. OBSERVER.

It took me awhile to arrive here—if "arriving" is even a thing. Chasing the mythical unicorn of figuring it all out, I spent my college days pre-med and four years post-grad in a university lab researching how the (physical) heart works. 

Yet, it was while learning to surf in Venice Beach that my heart studies took a different direction. Among many revelations, I realized that I didn't need a medical degree to learn what I wanted to about the human experience; there's a deeper rhythm hidden beneath life's surface. It's elusive and familiar all at the same time, and I want to set that beat to words.

I eventually left the lab and joined Darling Media, where I spent five years as Digital Managing Editor. Today, I'm working as Creative Director of Voice for Magnolia, while also as a freelance writer [most recent links here & in print here]. I love the thrill of crossing borders, writing stories from my travels, and capturing what’s intangible on the page—usually with some interesting food or drink in tow.
