Hello.

I am a New York-based writer from Sydney, Australia.

I mostly write about New York City, fashion, and literature.

In 2020 I completed an M.A. in Cultural Reporting and Criticism and NYU, and have written for print and digital publications including Harper’s Bazaar, The Drift, Guernica, The Rumpus, and others.

I am also the Director of Programming at McNally Jackson, where I work with writers and publishers to curate and produce book launches, panel discussions, and seminars. They have been covered by The Atlantic and the New York Times. At McNally Jackson, I have also partnered on events with Air Mail, the Onassis Foundation, and other organizations.

Previously, I was a curatorial assistant at NYU’s 80WSE gallery. I also worked as an editorial assistant and then writer at Mahlab, a content creation agency based in Sydney.
