I am an award-winning journalist with credits in numerous publications including In Style, National Geographic, Cooking Light, Health, Parade, Ms. and the New York Daily News. I am also an experienced corporate writer and have written advertising copy for Target and completed writing and editing assignments for UNICEF and the World Bank.

My work covers a range of topics: I’ve written about days spent beading with Maasai women in Kenya and trekking up pyramids in Mexico. I’ve worked the red carpet at movie premieres and covered award show after-parties; I have also profiled prominent businesspeople and celebrity fashion stylists, as well as a former gang-member turned champion fencer.

My eclectic interests have been somewhat inspired by my nomadic existence: Born in New York, I grew up in Kenya and the Caribbean and have lived in several cities worldwide.

Before becoming a writer, I was an architect–I have a bachelor’s degree in environmental architecture and a master’s in urban planning and worked as an architect before returning to school to get an MA in journalism. My true passion is writing fiction. I am currently shopping around a book of short stories, “Stealing Nirvana,” and working on a novel entitled “The Tree of Forgetfulness.”
