Hello

I'm a writer, freelance journalist, and contributing editor at Down East Magazine. I live in Midcoast Maine.

For nearly a decade I was on the editorial staff at Newsweek Magazine and, later, The Daily Beast, where I covered gender, culture, and social justice as a staff writer and articles editor. My BA is in English, from Barnard College, and my MS is in Magazine Journalism, from Columbia University.

Here are some of my favorite stories. Here is an older, but fairly thorough, collection of clips.
