As a freelance writer with more than a decade of experience, I have written for Oxford American, Washingtonian, Texas Monthly, Mental Floss, and Atlas Obscura. My feature for Washingtonian, "Meet the Guy who Bought Pat Sajak's Radio Station," was nominated for Best Magazine Feature at the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists 2023 Dateline Awards.

My creative nonfiction has appeared in Epistemic Literary, Halfway Down the Stairs, Maryland Literary Review, and Wilderness House Literary Review. The micro nonfiction piece "Last Light" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. The essay "Memory and Mythmaking" received honorable mention in the 30th annual National League of American Pen Women's literary competition.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in English with honors from George Mason University, with a concentration in non-fiction writing and editing. I am also an associate member of Mystery Writers of America.
