I’m an award-winning journalist, writer and author.
In March 2024, I quit my job as a senior reporter at Business Insider to co-found a financial media outlet with investor Anthony Pompliano — it’s called Opening Bell Daily.
I’ve previously reported for Fortune Magazine, BuzzFeed News, GreenBiz, US-China Today, Annenberg Media, Flique Editorial, Yahoo Finance, and the Thousand Oaks Acorn. I’ve worked in four countries across three continents, and have also had my fiction published in various online publications.
On this blog, I write at the intersection of personal development, work, and creativity. I share these posts in my newsletter every Monday — sign up here.
I’m also the creator of Journalists Club, a private community for ambitious, entrepreneurial media professionals in New York City. I produce large events, happy hours, industry workshops, and intimate dinners. Apply here.
Some awards I’ve won:
- Fulbright Fellowship, Berlin Capital Program (2024)
- Austrian American Media Fellowship (2022)
- Bryce Nelson Award, Distinguished Journalism (2021)
- Penny Lernoux Award, International Reporting (2021)
- USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship (2020)
And my books:
- Life Between Moments: New York Stories (2022) — A fiction short story collection that won multiple indie book awards. A #1 bestseller in Amazon’s Short Story category, and 4 others.
- Everywhere But Home: Life Overseas as Told by a Travel Blogger (2020) — A literary memoir I wrote when I lived in Southeast Asia. Instant #1 bestseller on Amazon in Travel Writing and 7 other categories.
I’m currently based in New York City. I grew up in Southern California, and I’ve lived in Hong Kong, Germany, and Spain.
