About me
I’m a writer and editor based in New York with a focus on film, food, arts, and culture.
Growing up in Vancouver, Buenos Aires, and South Florida has given me a love of travel and a burning curiosity for all things new. From a young age, I would put my experiences to paper in short stories, poems, newspaper articles, Lisa Frank diaries that I’ve since lost. Words are how I’ve come to process the world around me.
They’re what led me to the University of Pennsylvania and then to The New Yorker, where I managed the magazine’s social media presence, growing it three-fold over the course of two years. Words are the reason I landed at the University of Oxford to pursue a Master’s in film criticism, and at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, where I spent four years shaping the digital voice of the organization.
Words have led me here, to this corner of the Internet. Welcome.
