Lighthouse Point, Cayman Islands, 2015

I’m a freelance journalist, essayist, and editor. I write about culture, gender, and the outdoors, strange nature and strange performances, and obsessions. My reporting has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Outside, Bon Appétit, and I’ve edited stories for the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and more.

I grew up in Bermuda and have since lived in Providence, Brooklyn, central Vermont, and western Oregon, where I’m now a second-year MFA candidate in nonfiction at Oregon State University. I’m still happier by the sea.
