About me

I'm a writer, editor, photographer, and reporter based in New York City, specializing primarily in travel and food.

Currently, I'm an Associate Editor at Skift, covering hospitality.

Prior to that, I was the Managing Editor of INCENTIVE magazine and the Senior Editor of Successful Meetings magazine. Both of these brands are dedicated to covering the meetings, incentives and travel industries.

I've covered the travel industry for nearly 10 years now, but I'm also interested in learning, reading and writing more about topics that also include food, fashion, education, healthcare and business. The great thing about writing about food, travel, and meetings, is that it touches on so many of those facets, too.

When I'm not typing up my latest story, or snapping a photo, you can usually find me (1) dog sitting for friends or (2) eating out--or cooking in.
