I'm interested in stories about culture, science, history, the environment and the systems that shape the world around us. Since graduating from Pomona College, I've been the editorial fellow at Audubon Magazine, a reporting intern for The Christian Science Monitor, and a freelance reporter for the podcast 99% Invisible.
At Pomona, I studied anthropology and music and served as editor-in-chief of The Student Life, the newspaper of the Claremont Colleges. I also managed audience engagement for the Evanston RoundTable, my hometown's nonprofit newsroom, and interned for Illinois Public Media in Urbana.
I sometimes make jazz arrangements and can be found playing sax, clarinet, melodica, kazoo or vacuum cleaner, depending on the night. I've been known to spin tracks on KSPC 88.7FM. Ask me about transit, typefaces, maps, puzzles, pickles or stovetop popcorn.
I'm a big fan of indie crosswords; you can find some of my own on Pocket Squares!
