Freelancer and student

United States of America

I'm a current junior at Barnard College of Columbia University. I'm an English major, a stand-up comedian, and an avid writer. On campus, you can find me working as a tour guide, running a literary magazine, and co-founding a comedy group. Off campus, I work as a freelancer and intern; most recently I've interned at Boston Magazine and O, the Oprah Magazine.
