I’m a journalist living in the Seattle area. You can find my work in Business Insider, New York Magazine, Slate, MSNBC, The Daily Beast, Vice News, Buzzfeed News, Rolling Stone, and Longreads, among other publications. I write Ask A Sober Lady, a newsletter about substance use and addiction recovery. This website has links to all of my freelance work. I’m a former health science journalist for Inverse; for stories I wrote there, please visit my Inverse author page.

In 2020, André Aciman selected my essay for The Small Bow as a Notable Essay in that year’s Best American Essays anthology. I was a co-founder and associate editor of Anxy magazine, an award-winning publication focused on mental health. In 2018, I was a story and field producer on a documentary about the pediatric use of medical cannabis.
