Written Work
My writing has been published in digital publications like The Forward, Religion Unplugged and Hey Alma. I have also contributed extensively for student publications like Columbia News Service, The Bull & Bear and New Voices Magazine. I have a particular knack for long-form profiles and artist Q+As, and I also have experience producing arts criticism, fast turnaround stories and collaborative projects. In addition to journalism, in my spare time, I also love writing short stories, satire and even the occasional murder mystery.
