A little bit about me…
Soon I will start my sixth year in New York City. I was born in Manhattan, Kansas, and as my mother likes to say, “You started in the little apple and now live in the big apple.” That’s true, and I love it here. My time in Kansas was short, 11 months and then my family moved to Denver, where I lived until the age of 17 when I moved on to Berkeley, California.
After traveling most of North America and a stint in Europe, I live in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn with my large, loud feline, Pico de Gato. After graduating from Brooklyn College with a BA in journalism, I now attend the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in Times Square. Throughout my childhood I loved to make, see and write about art. Which now, is what I am studying — arts and culture journalism. Lucky for me this wonderful city has no lack of that! I held internships, and now freelance, at The Brooklyn Rail, The Indypendent, The Brooklyn Paper, and The New York Press.
Right now I am interning at Serious Eats, a blog all about food, which is one of my favorite subjects. I am also finishing up the last semester of graduate school and will be looking for a job–preferably in the magazine world. As far as writing interests go, they range from travel writing to art establishments and the people that fill them. I am also fond of food, visual art and music writing. Yet, as always, I am eager to learn and grow in experience.
