About Me

Picture
I fell in love with publishing as a teenager producing zines. Since then, I've worked as an art director and culture editor at several nonprofit print magazines, a breaking news reporter for the website of a TV station, and a reporter and managing editor at a member-driven radio station, a manager at a large newspaper conglomerate. Now, I'm dipping my toes into product management at a nonprofit focused on bringing academic research to the daily news debate. 

Along the way, I've produced a couple of my own magazines and side projects. Currently I'm working on creating a repository of information on the development of L.A.'s Skid Row neighborhood. Wanna help out? Get in touch!
