Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I write long-form articles on pop culture, youth movements, and investigatory topics. Some of my articles are weighty, and some not at all.

I'm also the author of Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus, a book that answers many of the questions about sexual consent currently in national debate.

I'm a contributing writer at The New York Times magazine and Vanity Fair. I've won a National Magazine Award, the magazine equivalent of a Pulitzer, in profile writing. "Gawker and the Rise of the Creative Underclass," a New York magazine cover story, was a finalist for the feature writing award. A profile of Arianna Huffington was also nominated for a Mirror Award.

I am in awe of the service performed by the HER Foundation, which helps women with hyperemesis gravidarum, and Bone Cancer Research Trust U.K., working to solve rare cancers across the pond.

My writing has also been published in these books as well as mentioned in these articles.
