I write features for The Guardian US. Past lives include a staff style writing gig at The Daily Beast and an editing stint at Allure magazine. I like physical media, newspaper print in fashion, and scenes in movies where characters go to the movies. I’m less fond of double parking, ChatGPT, and people who take karaoke too seriously. While we’re on the topic, my karaoke song is These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ (Nancy’s version, natch). I believe there are no bad covers of Love Is Strange.

I’ve written hundreds of stories. These are a few of my very best:

“Can kick me out of any funk”: why Sullivan’s Travels is my feel good movie

“An underground thing”: what happens to a pet when its owners are targeted by ICE raids?

“A twist of the knife”: trans Americans respond to Trump’s executive order

“I’m literally Joan Baez right now”: gen Z women relate to Joan Baez’s “toxic situationship”

“I was handed off to a complete stranger”: the survivors fighting child marriage in 37 US states - and the people who want to keep it legal”
