About Me

I'm a writer and communications professional who delivers sharp reporting and compelling narratives. My experience includes journalism, digital content, and strategic communications, with bylines in Pleaser Magazine, Time Out New York, InsideClimate News, and Radio Free Brooklyn. I spotlight emerging artists and local culture by interviewing musicians, industry professionals, and community organizers. 

Previously, I supported The New York Times Research and Development team, analyzing hundreds of published stories to support innovation in emerging journalism technologies. In the nonprofit sector, I worked with CPC Climate Capital to develop written campaigns, case studies, and promotional materials highlighting affordable housing and climate-focused initiatives. Earlier in my career, I reported on institutional investment trends for MandateWire, a Financial Times product, translating complex financial topics into clear and accessible reports for asset managers.

Across these roles, I’ve built a reputation for clear, purposeful storytelling that resonates across platforms.

Faking It With The Army, The Navy

I’ve always been fond of the phrase “fake it ‘till you make it.” It reminds me that even those who seem to exude an effortless confidence may be putting in work behind the scenes to create that image. Maia Ciambriello and Sasha Goldberg, the duo that make up The Army, The Navy, told Pleaser Magazine that the notion of finding bravery, especially when you feel scared or unsure, was a catalyst for their debut album Fake Brave Life. The record, released on June 12, is 11 tracks of both personal ane...

I Listened to Valley Boy’s Debut Album. You Should Too.

Creating an album that both examines his own experience with divorce and loss while sharing stories of his peers has been percolating in James Ghaleb’s, better known as Valley Boy, mind since the start of his career. It took a considerable effort to whittle down his thoughts into a condensed track list, but Children of Divorce, released May 1,was eventually cut to the 13song collection it debuted as. After writing records’ worth of content for other artists, Ghaleb wanted to be choosy about the...
