about

I write news and features, with particular expertise in tea, the vegan movement, and social/cultural issues.

I worked as a full-time newspaper reporter after earning a degree in journalism. Now I direct communications at a nonprofit organization, but I still write news and features for various publications. Primarily, I'm a writer and editor for Eighty Degrees, a print-only magazine about tea culture.

I also study Japanese language, play in a Central Javanese gamelan, and assist with operations for a matcha cafe. I'm based in Atlanta, and I travel frequently.
