I’m a New York City native who earned a degree in philosophy from Brown University, only to discover upon graduation that there weren’t many philosophy companies hiring. So I did the next best thing: returned to New York to pursue a career in journalism, and wound up splitting my time cultivating an ever-worsening drinking habit and freelance writing (read: bartending). I eventually landed a job as Associate Editor at YRB Magazine, where I wrote and edited celebrity interview features and music, entertainment and pop-culture pieces (many of which you can read here), and deluded myself into thinking that anyone had ever heard of YRB Magazine.

I am currently employed as Senior Editor at Citysearch New York. I was employed as Senior Editor at Citysearch New York until everyone in the department got laid off in November, 2010–which really sucked until I found out that being unemployed is awesome, especially if you have an unlimited Netflix account. But it doesn’t pay the rent. So when I’m not dodging my landlord or sleeping it off, I can be found begging for freelance work as a comedy and entertainment writer (or any other kind of writer you want me to be). When that fails, I have excellent babysitting references. And by “excellent babysitting references,” I mean no other marketable skills whatsoever.
