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 live in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in Evanston, Illinois. I studied anthropology and music at Pomona College. When I'm not writing or puzzling, I might be playing sax, clarinet, melodica, or slide whistle, birding, or eating chard. Yes, chard.
