About

Hey there! I’m an editor, independent writer, and Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic.

As a journalist, I report on a wide range of topics, including entertainment, the environment, labor, and wellness. You can find my writing in Bustle, The Boston Globe, The Guardian, Polygon, Slate, Teen Vogue, and elsewhere. I also write Observer’s column, Look Again, which examines the hidden histories and deeper contexts of TV and movies.

I currently work full time as a copy editor, and I’ve previously held full-time editorial roles at nonprofits and publishers like National Geographic Learning. I also take on freelance editing projects as time allows — see the newly designed Guild website as an example of my proofreading work. I hold certificates in copy editing from Emerson College and the Poynter Institute.

Please contact me to inquire about freelance writing, editing, and proofreading services!
