I've been a full-time journalist since 2023, but my experience in the field goes back further. I graduated magna cum laude from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I developed my own major called Culture Writing and Criticism. While working my way up to Editor-in-Chief at the school blog, I earned a number of bylines at TV Guide Magazine, CNN, Decider, and Texas Monthly. At those publications, I mostly focused on art and entertainment. However, I’ve always loved shopping, writing reviews, and service journalism — which is what led me to giving commerce writing a try as an intern at CNN Underscored. There, I had a ton of fun producing beauty and fashion shopping stories, which ended up preparing me for my work as AT's commerce editorial assistant. I’ve long been passionate about interior design and taken pride in the appearance of my space, whether it was my dorm room or my first tiny studio. Exploring that interest professionally has been a dream, and I love thinking about a product from every angle and figuring out if it's really worth it. As someone who was recently on a student budget and works with a small living space, I especially like to find and share items that are compatible with that lifestyle. In my eyes, a great product equally delivers on style and function, ideally at an affordable price point.

I’m a huge proponent of keeping an eye on an item for a while, holding off to see if it goes on sale before finally adding it to my cart — especially when it comes to big-ticket items and higher-end brands. You can’t rush the furniture-buying process and, more often than not, your patience will pay off. The hundreds you save will make it worth the wait.

West Elm is one of those brands that’s usually out of my budget, but, like my AT colleagues, I can’t get enough of the brand’s gorgeous designs. Notice that I say usually: When the brand throws a sale, it doesn’t go halfway. The Summer Sale that’s live right now includes furniture, decor, and bedding essentials at up to 50% off. In some cases, you can even stack an extra 20% discount on top of the clearance price. If you’ve had a West Elm item on your wish list, this is your sign to snag it now. Check out our favorite sale items below if you need some inspiration.
