About me

I'm a writer based in New York, reporting on health, business, technology, and culture.

My work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Bloomberg Businessweek, WIRED, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, National Geographic, Los Angeles Review of Books, British Vogue, Longreads, and on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.

I am an editor at The Dial, a new online magazine with a global focus.

I have contributed investigative research to bestselling journalistic book projects, including Ronan Farrow’s Catch and Kill, Brad Stone’s Amazon Unbound, and Nicola Twilley’s Frostbite, and to development work for documentary films.

My reporting has been supported by the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation; the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and the German-American Fulbright Commission, which awarded me a yearlong overseas journalism fellowship.

Previously, I was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal in New York covering business education and the workplace. 

I am an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Arthur L. Carter School of Journalism, where I teach reporting in the sciences, health, and the environment. I was previously a Lecturer in the English Department at Yale University, where I taught nonfiction writing.
