I'm currently producing puzzles and games at The New Yorker.
Previously, I was the editorial fellow at Audubon Magazine, where I fact-checked and reported stories on birds, science, and culture. I've also recently reported on garbage disposals, death cafés, periodical cicadas, and state flags for 99% Invisible and The Christian Science Monitor. My crosswords have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Puzzmo.
I am a corn-fed Illinoisan now living in Brooklyn, and a graduate of Pomona College, where I studied anthropology and music. When I'm not writing or puzzling, I might be playing sax, clarinet, melodica, or slide whistle, birding, or haunting the nearest farmer's market.
