A Maine native and alumna of Boston College, I am a New York-based journalist and graduate of Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism with a Master of Science in magazine writing and new media skills.
I’m currently a reporter at Bloomberg News. I was previously an intern at BusinessWeek. My work has been published by Bloomberg News, BusinessWeek, BusinessWeek.com, The Elevator, Adbusters.com, The Huffington Post, The New York Amsterdam News, The Queens Courier, The Portland Phoenix and Portland Magazine.
I was named after the main character of J.D. Salinger’s short story, “For Esmé – with Love and Squalor,” that later became one of Nine Stories. It was first published in The New Yorker in 1950, and can be viewed here. It begins: “Just recently, by air mail, I received an invitation to a wedding that will take place in England on April 18th.” My birthday is April 18th. My parents claim they weren’t aware of this coincidence. I am skeptical.
