I am a journalist, editor and social justice media expert. I built a nonprofit while maintaining a writing and editing career that began 15 years ago. I returned to my freelance career in 2026 — please reach out if you’d like to work together.

I have written about New York City, social justice, solutions, urbanism, real estate and housing as a freelance journalist based in Brooklyn. (View my favorite clips in the sections above!) I also have a range of editorial experience, from working with first-time journalists to in-depth investigative reporting.

In 2020 I co-founded Empowerment Avenue, a collective-turned-nonprofit supporting creative work from incarcerated people. I built and oversaw its Writing for Liberation collective, where we supported publication of hundreds of stories from incarcerated writers around the country. You can read more about that under Writing from Prison.
