I'm a reporter and writer in New York City with experience in financial, legal, real estate and education reporting, as well as human interest and local news stories in both print and radio.

 You can find me on Twitter talking about politics, feminism, health, books I'm reading, weird things that happen on the subway and life in general. I'm also on Instagram, where I post lots of cat and food pictures, and on Pinterest, where I pin gratuitous amounts of recipes and DIY projects that I rarely do. 

I also maintain the blog on this site to discuss current events and how the media covers them, and some personal stuff as well.

Most of my hobbies involve food, which is probably why I run so much. I've finished 5 half marathons and am planning on going "full crazy" in the 2014 New York City Marathon. I like to watch a lot of prime time TV and Netflix series, catch up on the New Yorker (you know you're always a week behind too) and travel home to North Carolina as often as possible.
