A little bit of background

At WashU, I earned Highest Distinction of honors, double-majoring in English Literature and Communication Design. I have worked as the layout editor for Spires Literary Magazine, a managing editor of Student Life Newspaper, and president of Creative Writing Cafe. I am a writer, artist, and amateur book-binder. I have previously worked at New York Review of Books, in the Publications Department at The Whitney Museum of American Art, and as a bookseller at McNally Jackson Soho. I am currently working at Phaidon, a publisher of illustrated books.

In my free time, you can catch me exploring new creative projects and drinking lots of boba and coffee.
