I’m writer based in Brooklyn, New York. My first book, THE ORACLE’S DAUGHTER: THE RISE AND FALL OF AN AMERICAN CULT, will be published by Scribner in April 2026. Learn more and preorder HERE.
My journalism and essays have appeared in The Cut, GQ, The Guardian, AFAR, Travel + Leisure, The American Scholar, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Threepenny Review, The Point, Chicago Quarterly Review, Vogue, and, as “notable,” The Best American Travel Writing. I received an MFA in nonfiction from Columbia University, where I taught undergraduate writing.
