Hello.

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

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, the LA Review of Books, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.

I am also the Director of the Unterburg Poetry Center at the 92nd Street Y, where I program literary events of all kinds. Before that, I was the Director of Programming at McNally Jackson Books.

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