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. 

I currently work for Commodore Builders in Boston, Massachusetts, where I contribute to proposals and marketing initiatives. 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 non-profit 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.

Harvey Street Takes Somerville By Storm

Many of the songs on their upcoming album, which Pleaser was told will hopefully be released in the first half of 2027, are inspired by the moments the band experienced in Nashville and their transition to, from and in the city.

Gather ‘Round For a Sit Down With Kids Table

Pleaser’s newest friends Amy Smith (lead vocals), Max Wooten (bass guitar/backup vocals), Bryan Truong or BT (keyboard), Mike Weaver (guitar), Ryan Thomas (trumpet), and Andy King (drums) make up Kids Table, your next favorite indie band. Inspired by groups like Lake Street Drive and Couch the Band (hello, Pleaser fave), Kids Table has started to develop their own sound outside of their highly successful cover work. What remains the same? They’re still a group of friends who love to perform, and...

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...
