Writer. Editor. Content Strategist. My book about my family's 36-year search to bring a missing son home from the Secret War in Laos will be published by Unnamed Press in spring 2020. My work has appeared in Glamour, Greatist, Essence, Digiday, Forbes, The Huffington Post, and Refinery29, and has been translated into French and German. I'm a graduate of Brown University, where I received a research grant to conduct an oral history project on World War II. Last trip: Japan. Next trip: Joshua Tree.
