About

Howdy! I’m an award-winning arts, culture, and lifestyle magazine writer, editor, and fashion stylist. The recipient of the San Diego Press Club’s 2023 Rising Star Journalist Award and 2024 Best in Show Award, I am currently the senior editor at San Diego Magazine.

My work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Palm Springs Life (where I was previously an assistant editor), Gulf Shore Life, Delaware Today, and other national and regional publications. I am the author of the prize-winning poetry chapbook The First Amelia (Gunpowder Press, 2024).

I live with my fiancée and two kittens in San Diego, where I spend my days perusing galleries, eating strawberries, and maintaining my four-year Duolingo streak.
