My online work frequently appears on TheAtlantic.com, TheAlanticWire.com, and GuernicaMag.com. My print work has been published in Time Out New York, Maxim, Good Housekeeping, Four Seasons, and elsewhere.
I enjoy writing about a complicated issue, and making it understandable. I can mark-up in HTML and I’m skilled at SEO.
