I'm a writer, musician, and teacher. After a decade as a singer-songwriter ("the neo-Stevie Nicks" - The New York Times), I earned my MFA from The Writer's Foundry in Brooklyn, NY. Most recently, I've been a frequent contributor to Suleika Jaouad's The Isolation Journals, with an essay that will appear in her forthcoming The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life (April 2025), alongside Elizabeth Gilbert, George Saunders, and others. I was a contributing writer to Departures, and my work has also appeared in Cup of Jo and Parents. I write a Substack called Resilience.

I've been featured on multiple platforms such as Allure's "Dispelling Beauty Myths" series (17M views), New York Family (cover story), Style Like U, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Glow, Mother, and the podcast So, Life Wants You Dead. I was tagged as "one of music's hippest chicks" alongside Florence & the Machine in Page Six, named one of The Village Voice's most stylish New Yorkers, with nods in music outlets such as Magnet, Nylon, and Bust.

I'm also a cancer mom, breast cancer survivor myself, and advocate. I'm a Buddhist practitioner and student. I love lipstick, beautiful dresses, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Those things are important, too! A native New Yorker, I live upstate in Tivoli, NY with my partner and twin sons. I'm working on my first book and new music, too — stay tuned.
