I'm a journalist who's written and edited for TIME, Newsweek, and The New Republic, among other publications. Now based in New York, I've previously reported from London, D.C. and Brussels. I have written cover stories about transgender rights, campus rape, synthetic drugs, and hiring practices. My work has been nominated for a Livingston Award and a GLAAD Media award, and I have appeared on TV, radio, and podcasts, like CBS Sunday Morning, MSNBC, NPR, and the Savage Lovecast.

My other interest is mentoring young people. As a co-director of the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program, I teach journalism and guide low-income teens through the college admissions process, and I am a frequent speaker at Groton school. I sat on the board of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism from 2012 to 2014. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and children.
