I’m a culture writer, magazine editor, and investigative researcher. You can see some of my stories on this site and via The New York Times and Interview Magazine (the latter appear under my maiden name).

I worked as a freelance research editor for The New York Times for eleven years —at T: The New York Times Style Magazine from January 2014 through February 2020, and at The New York Times Magazine from December 2015 through November 2024. For some of my fact-checking work, please see this page.
