Hi there,

a little about me:

I'm a journalist and audience expert covering business and the economy. Currently, I'm a senior audience editor for Axios' business desk. 

​

Previously, I was the newsletter editor at SPY, Penske Media's menswear and lifestyle website. For SPY,  I covered the intersection of business and culture, which I've also done for Slate and The Washington Post​From 2021 to 2023, I was a reporter on Business Insider's economy team, where I also covered a range of (much different) economy topics — the pandemic's impact on small businesses, inflation, labor issues, anything major impacting people and their money. In particular, I focused on financial precarity issues, such as Social Security, retirement, and tenant protectionsBefore that, I was a USA Today intern for several years. I spent the back half of 2021 doing audience work at the opinion desk, and in the two years before, I covered Congress and the 2020 presidential election at the Washington bureau. 

 

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2021 with degrees in English and political science. At school, I served as Managing Editor of UChicago College News and Head News Editor of The Chicago Maroon. I was also a member of The New York Times Student Journalism Institute

​

In particular, I am interested in writing and editing stories about the economy, culture, and politics. Those who wish to reach me may do so through this website.
