Most of my writing has been for newspapers, but magazine is my favorite medium and where I hope to find a career. I love long-form writing and the potential it allows. Personal profiles are my favorite, as I enjoy spending time with people, getting to know them and having the opportunity to introduce them and tell their stories through the written word.
My clips include a range of features, hard news, advances and reviews.
