A little bit about me…
Soon I will start my seventh 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 now live in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn with my large, loud feline, Pico de Gato. In between freelance gigs and bartending I find time to cook up a storm–I love food! Which is one of the main subjects I write about, as well as other arts and culture oriented stories. Lucky for me this wonderful city has no lack of that! I have held internships at The Brooklyn Rail, The Indypendent, The Brooklyn Paper, Serious Eats and The New York Press.
This past December I received my M.A. from the City University Graduate School of Journalism and am currently freelancing, mainly for the New York Press, Daily News, and West Side Spirit. However, I am looking for a full-time 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.
