I currently live between Los Angeles, Chicago, and Europe, balancing my time between real estate, theater, impact investing, and researching innovation in social change and environmental regeneration.

Before this, I lived in New York City for nearly a decade writing and working on products, digital strategy and partnerships for The Economist, Storyful (acquired by News Corp), The Week, and more. I was a freelance writer for Fast Company, Quartz, and Vox. I helped launch podcasts, newsletters, early apps, and had the luck to be a part of the 2nd wave of New York tech.

I started my entrepreneurship journey in 2012 via the Mileage Media community, a network of folks passionate about media and innovation spanning LA, SF, NYC, and London. Then I built one of the first slow, mindful news companies, Catchpool.

I graduated with honors from The University of Southern California (USC) where I studied International Relations, where I began my career in environmental storytelling, working on the Sundance winning documentary FUEL, and cut my writing chops editing an indie music blog, the now defunct NewBandDaily. The music scene in LA and New York in the late 2000s was a blast, and a formative space to build relationships and perspective.

I’m a Forbes 30 Under 30 in Media, the founding ambassador of Sandbox LA, a StartingBloc fellow, and was a founding board member of NPR's Generation Listen. I am now on Search for Common Ground’s board, focused on international peace building.
