My debut novel, The Measure, was an instant New York Times Bestseller upon publication in June 2022, with translations forthcoming in 22 languages. The Measure was selected as Jenna Bush Hager and The TODAY Show’s #ReadWithJenna Book Club pick as well as the Barnes & Noble Discover Pick.

My work has also appeared online with New York Magazine, Newsweek, The Huffington Post, Literary Hub, Indagare Travel, BookTrib, and Vox Media.

As a travel writer, I explored nearly a dozen countries on assignment—from rural villages in France to the arctic fjords of Norway. As a ghostwriter, I’ve written for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and academics.

I graduated Harvard University summa cum laude and was an editor of The Harvard Crimson. I earned my master's degree in Global Thought from Columbia University.
