I’m a writer interested in how life works outside of professionalized structures.

As a parent, journalist, and organizer, the tension between work and life grew into the central question of my work: What happens after the professions and systems we’ve relied on to navigate life begin to dissolve? How do we design better tools and frameworks for the invisible work that sustains our lives and communities?

I’m currently working on a literary memoir about waiting as work, and making small artifacts about care, time and invisible work through Time Spent Press. Ideas usually first appear in my newsletter.

Previously, I was Director of Engagement at the International Association for Feminist Economics, the founding host of the Buddhist podcast Buddhability, and a freelance journalist covering women’s labor, media, and news literacy. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Narratively, Columbia Journalism Review, The New Humanitarian, and Tricycle, among others.

I’m based in San Francisco, where I co-organize a community for Mothers in Art & Design, and am always up for a chat about shared interests. You can get in touch here.
