About
I’m a writer and journalist based between Tokyo and New York City, with bylines in Tokyo Weekender, The Japan Times, Matador Network, Ms. magazine, and more.
My reporting focuses on power and the voices that slip beneath it, seeking stories that are both investigative and deeply human. In addition to reporting, I write essays, fiction, and the occasional treatise-on-loss-posing-as-memoir. My creative work appears in Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature.
I also do freelance travel writing when I can, which is just a fancy way of saying I’ll go anywhere. I’ve flown to Morocco to meet a stranger for a first date, gone undercover as a hostess in Tokyo’s red-light district, and completed a seven-day trek to Machu Picchu without any prior training — all in the name of a good story.
