About Me

I write house tours for Apartment Therapy, but my work can also be found on The Kitchn and Cubby. My favorite part of my job is interviewing people and seeing how their unique personalities are reflected in their spaces — whether it's a full home tour, a kids' room, or a super-cool kitchen.

I started working in the home field as an editorial fellow at Dwell in 2019 and I've been hooked ever since. I’m passionate about sharing people’s beautiful and unique homes with the world.
