JOURNALISM / NEWS CURATION
Hello! I’m a New York City-based multimedia journalist and editor with experience across digital media, editorial curation, newsletters, and multimedia storytelling.
I currently serve as a News Editor at Apple News, where I curate the daily Good Morning from Apple News newsletter and the weekly Popular in Apple News+ newsletter, which both service a national audience.
Previously, I worked at Apple News as an editorial fellow, where I curated article collections and recipe groups, produced audio segments for the Apple News Today podcast, wrote copy for social media, and collaborated on coverage plans for events, such as The Grammy Awards and The Oscars.
In previous roles as Editor-in-Chief at Vox Magazine and intern for St. Louis Magazine, I developed and refined my skills as a writer, editor, and producer.
Across my work, I’m interested in thoughtful storytelling and finding new ways to connect with audiences with stories that matter.
Here, you’ll find a selection of my work, including curated article collections, writing clips, editor’s letters, and multimedia pieces produced during my graduate studies.
