I worked as a freelance research editor for The New York Times for almost eleven years —at T: The New York Times Style Magazine from January 2014 through February 2020, and at The New York Times Magazine from December 2015 through November 2024. For some of my fact-checking work, please see this page. I’m also a culture writer. You can see some of my stories on this site and via The New York Times and Interview Magazine (where they are under my maiden name).
