About Me

I’m a twenty-something who writes about fashion, fitness, food, journalism and the arts. I’ve worked in online media on both coasts, covering music and teen news in the East, and editing fashion and beauty articles in the West. I’ve done immersion reporting in Ghana, profiling women in a refugee camp and the Miss Universe pageant.  I’ve blogged through northern India’s Golden Triangle, based in Jaipur, writing about fashion (salesmen posing in saris), class (dancing with the Maharaja’s son at his birthday party), health care (filling my prescriptions at pharmacies in garages), and micro-finance (charities funding start-ups in a leper colony).

I live in Los Angeles now, and still like to mix it up.

As a freelance writer and editor, I explore topics in the news that relate mostly to women. I like to pick apart pop culture and the portrayal of women in the media. I also enjoy examining the political implications of topics that touch on gender, class, race and power. My goal is to start a civil and smart discussion on matters important to the modern feminist. (No, feminist is not a scary word. Embrace equality!)
