Professional Experience
As a former full-time lifestyle/features editor I am well adept at packaging and conceptualizing all types of lifestyle features from food truck round-ups and best dressed at Fashion Week to a Belle du Jour-inspired shoot for Girls' Allison Williams. After completing a three-month work exchange at fashion/lifestyle publication Fabulous Magazine in London, I've decided to pursue writing full-time, with a strong concentration on travel. I've written about "27-hours in Joshua Tree" for Fodor's, compiled a 15-page city guide to Paris for New Zealand magazine Urbis and am local expert on AFAR.com. I also contribute dating and personal essays to Cosmo UK and regularly write about my own self-discoveries while discovering the world on my blog, News Girl About Towns.
