Independent Journalist, Author, and Speaker

Penguin Random House

My first book, THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB, was published by Penguin Random House in May, 2023. 

In the book, I examine how work has eclipsed faith and friends as a source of meaning in Americans' lives and the double-edged sword of looking to work as our primary source of identity and meaning.

Author, The Good Enough Job

The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, etc.

I cover issues related to labor, education, and business for national publications. I'm a narrative writer first, but I'm also proficient in data journalism and audio/video production.

Freelance Reporter

IDEO

I work with and lead teams of world-class designers to build innovative products and services. My focus areas are design research, editorial storytelling, brand, and content strategy.

As a member of IDEO's Design for Learning studio, the majority of my work wrestles with how to use education as a means of economic mobility. That is to say, how to help people find stable, fulfilling, well-paying jobs. Past clients: Microsoft, Google, the State of California, and many others.

Design Lead

Senior Writer, Project Lead

Atlantic Media (Quartz/The Atlantic)

I report on the intersection of Silicon Valley and labor. I'm particularly interested in stories related to automation, the future of work, and education.

Staff Writer

Josephine

I led communications for Josephine, the labor-justice startup that lets home cooks sell food to their neighbors. I created our brand voice, led our content, newsletter, and social media strategy, and placed features in NatGeo, Wired, NPR, and other national publications.

Director of Communications

Sharethrough

I led publisher product marketing for Sharethrough's monetization tool (Sharethrough for Publishers). I wrote thought leadership articles about the future of digital advertising for Ad Age and Fast Company and co-led our creative services team that advised brands on copy and art.

Product Marketing

I'm an independent author, journalist, and speaker.

My debut book, THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB, is about how work became the primary source of meaning and identity in Americans’ lives. 

In addition to journalism, I also work with purpose-driven organizations on design and editorial strategy. After 4 years at IDEO, I’m happiest when I’m working with multi-disciplinary teams to tell human-centered stories.
