About Me

I've loved magazines for as long as I can remember, which is what motivated me to study journalism in college. My proudest accomplishment since graduating has been landing a job in New York and moving to the city of my dreams.

In my role at Apartment Therapy, I'm most passionate about making my home look organized and sophisticated and helping our readers do the same — often at a discount. Although I cover my fair share of newsy pieces and sale posts, my work focuses on long-form service articles that help our audience make informed shopping decisions.

In my free time, I enjoy reading about fashion and design, watching reality TV, and exploring New York.

I'm an expert in

  • living room seating
  • home organization
  • bedding

My education

University of Missouri - Columbia (Bachelor of Journalism)
