About

I’m a writer and editor who is passionate about the intersection of people, places, and culture. With Midwestern roots, years spent in Mexico City, and a new home in Paris, I bring a global perspective and a deep curiosity to everything I do.

My background as a qualitative researcher informs my approach to storytelling. I’m drawn to narratives that explore how people make sense of their lived experiences and how places shape the lives lived within them. Whether I’m reporting from a coffee farm in Colombia or interviewing a sommelier in Paris, I explore the threads that link identity, culture, and community.

I’ve written for publications like Standart, Barista Magazine, Daily Coffee News, and Hyperallergic, and I currently serve as the travel editor for St. Louis Magazine, where I oversee a weekly travel newsletter.

In 2022, I began working on a project about women in the coffee industry. I’ve interviewed over 50 people around the world, picked coffee in Guatemala, and delivered the keynote at the International Women’s Coffee Alliance Leadership Summit in Ethiopia. The project has only deepened my love of coffee and my curiosity about the food and beverage industry at large. 

In addition to my journalistic work, I also offer copywriting and editing. Whether you're looking to refine your messaging, strengthen your brand voice, or create engaging content, I help businesses and individuals ensure their words resonate with their audience and achieve their goals.

When I’m not writing at a neighborhood café, you’ll find me in galleries, running along the Seine, studying Spanish and French verb conjugations, or aimlessly exploring the city streets. I will never turn down good bottle of natural wine, I and am always looking for the next best cortado. 

You can follow my writing on Untethered, my Substack newsletter, where I share essays from a life between places—Midwestern beginnings, Mexico City’s creative pulse, and my current chapter in Paris. I explore the people, places, and flavors that shape our world and the connections that bring us together.
