Technology Writer & Journalist

technology writer • editor • journalist

my work has appeared online or in print for publications including Wired, OneZero, Business Insider, Vice, VentureBeat, Supercluster, Refinery29, and The New York Observer, as well as on your social feeds, in your inbox, and cued up on your podcast playlist. In addition to holding several senior editing and reporting roles in media, I've also worked behind the scenes of some of the most influential tech companies, leading editorial initiatives and ghostwriting for top c-suite executives.

i’m interested in how technology impacts our society and culture, reporting on AI, data, cloud, tech ethics, digital culture, and space. I also love translating technical topics for wider audiences. I've broken big stories, led teams, launched successful editorial products, and helped writers (and traffic) (and brand communities) grow.

i've been covering AI for almost a decade and even reported on the first ever deep learning conference in 2015. I was researching how AI is being built, its biases, and impacts on our society years before AI took center stage, and I've interviewed countless top researchers examining AI ethics, policy, and more.
i'm a seasoned newsroom leader and thrive in small teams where I can wear different hats, lead story production from start to finish, and combine my love for editing, writing, art direction, and mentoring.
i’m passionate about pairing writing with original artwork to offer stories that are as beautiful to look at as they are to read. I've been known to experiment with format and incorporate branding and interactive elements into my work.
