Hello, stranger. I'm a senior writer at Fast Company magazine, where I cover the business of technology and innovation.

My most recent cover story took readers behind the scenes at OpenAI through the eyes of CTO Mira Murati. My past work includes profiles of California Congresswoman Katie Porter, Backstage Capital founder Arlan Hamilton, investor Chamath Palihapitiya, and NYU professor Scott Galloway. I’ve also reported on Silicon Valley’s cautionary tales, like Juul, Divvy Homes, and Tilt.

I started my career in journalism, and then I took a long detour from the field after college. Along the way I worked at McKinsey & Company, raised millions of dollars in venture philanthropy funding, joined a startup, and got a master's degree in creative technology from ITP. For my graduate thesis, I wrote poems in Python using text that I scraped from Reddit. 

I've climbed mountains in Chile, Malawi, and Slovenia. But I'm usually most happy closer to home with my husband, our two children, and our labradoodle, Lord Byron.
