About Me!

Associate Music Editor at Paste Magazine

I recently graduated Barnard College of Columbia University with a Bachelors in English (Creative Writing concentration in Poetry) and Political Science (Political Theory concentration).  I live in NYC at present, but I'm originally from Tallahassee, Florida, and as such can personally verify the truth of The Mountain Goats' Tallahassee. Prior to receiving the Associate Music Editor position at Paste, I had previously worked and/or interned for political campaigns, the Planned Parenthood of FL, Wesleyan University Press, The Village Sun, Observer, and Paste itself. I am also an actor (primarily theater-focused) and published poet.

Likes: having opinions, the color olive green, original blue bag Sun Chips, music that makes my friends vow to never give me the aux cord at a party, close-reading, people-watching, self-mythologizing, lore-dropping, writing in all lowercase, using a lot of exclamation points in emails so people don't think I'm annoyed with them, hyperrealism in surreal contexts, singers who can't sing, well-written insufferable female characters, absurdist theater, feigned idiocy, metacommentary, any and all punctuation that can be used to prolong a sentence, form being an extension of content, the dopamine rush of a cancelled plan, that emoji with the two red exclamation marks, poems that use words incorrectly (i.e. a noun as a verb), weirdos and freaks in general, and unnecessarily long lists. 

Dislikes: stickers, word limits, and the passage of time. 

Please feel free to pitch me with anything; I'd love to hear whatever you've got to share. Actually, feel free to reach out even if you don't have a pitch! I love talking. Let's talk! (That being said, I am a slow responder by nature, so do not worry if it takes me a minute to get back to you. Sorry in advance!)
