I'm a little obsessed with humor writing.

I've been writing humor for 6+ years and I've written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, McSweeney's, Reductress, and more. 

Some highlights:

  • In 2020, I co-wrote a piece with Danielle Kraese, Allison Kelley, and Kate Herzlin that went viral and inspired our book, Jokes to Offend Men.

  • Also in 2020, I wrote a Modern Love parody illustrated by Ali Solomon that the editor of Modern Love called "perfect."

  • In 2019, Kiki O'Keeffe and I wrote “Quarterly Reports on the Phases of the Moon," which was featured in a print spread in The New York Times celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing.

  • In 2017, I became a Reductress contributor and I’ve published 25+ headlines on the site.

I love writing about animals, beauty, work, food, things that are cute, things that are gross, and anxiety.
