I currently live between Los Angeles and Mexico City and balance my time between writing, real estate, teaching yoga and breath, and researching innovation in social change and climate. For the past few years I’ve been following the meteoric rise of industrial hemp in the US and am working on a documentary.

Before this, I lived in New York City for nearly a decade working on products, digital strategy and partnerships for NewsCorp, The Week, Storyful (acquired by News Corp) and The Economist, where I cut my teeth in journalism. I was (and still am) a freelance writer for Fast Company, Quartz, and Vox.

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.
