EDITORIAL & BLOG

My first published piece of writing was a poem called “Ode to Uniqueness,” which was incredibly self-aggrandizing…and also not bad for a 10-year-old. Since then, I’ve written for the websites of Elle, GQ, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Details, Women’s Health, AskMen, Bustle, Elite Daily, Well+Good, Brooklyn Magazine, and others. I also QBd the editorial strategy at DoSomething, helping boost our site’s editorial traffic by 336%.
