Hello! I am a freelance writer and project manager, officially-licensed tour guide in New York City, and world traveler with a variety of work experience, ranging from writing best-selling travel guides to working with renowned hotel brands. From short social media and blog posts to long-form articles requiring detailed research, I can shape my words to fit your voice. My lifelong interest in cities took me to Vassar College where I studied Geography with a focus on Urban Life. 

Currently, I am organizing virtual and in-person tours of New York City with Bowery Boys Walks. This new walking tour company is a partnership with the popular podcast, The Bowery Boys: New York City History, Other clients have included guidebooks like Not For Tourists and Frommer's Travel as well as online publications like EuroCheapo and ShowTickets.com, In addition, I have worked on digital projects with Google, Zagat, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and TripAdvisor. Back in 2011, I created an app for eating in Chinatown that was featured in the NY Post, and my wife and I still maintain an active blog over at across106thstreet.

Before moving to New York City, I worked with AmeriCorps in Boston, the Northwest Film Center and 1,000 Friends of Oregon in Portland, and Pike Place Market in Seattle.

My current home is on the island of Manhattan, just a few steps from Central Park, I grew up in Massachusetts, spent many weeks on Block Island, and I've lived in Arizona, Portland (Oregon), Seattle, and Sweden.
