Based in Washington, D.C., I report and edit personal finance stories for U.S. News & World Report. I’ve represented U.S. News on local and national radio stations, including The Daily Wrap from The Wall Street Journal. I graduated from Syracuse University in May 2011 with a degree in magazine journalism and a minor in psychology. My work has appeared in Baltimore magazine, Baltimore Style magazine, National Geographic Traveler, and Money magazine and on CNNMoney.com, Entrepreneur.com, USnews.com, and HuffingtonPost.com.
When I’m not writing, I’m busy watching trashy television (hey, at least Ink Master is a notch above Jersey Shore), reading murder mysteries, and indulging in mint chocolate chip ice cream (only the green kind, though, none of that creepy white stuff).
