I’ve always been interested in these topics. Maybe because I grew up largely in a one parent household and made it a goal to find and build a healthy relationship of my own. Maybe because women are socialized to care more about these matters. I don’t have a degree in psychology, but I do find people fascinating—certainly more than places or things.

I also contribute culture stories at The San Francisco Standard. I’ve covered the Bay Area’s quirky dating scene and what happened when the brunette Carrie Bradshaw of San Francisco got a boyfriend. Other stories I’m proud of: an interview with Jim Gaffigan and commentary on biracial Asian men in Hollywood.

Previously I was an editor at a boutique agency producing articles, podcasts, and video content for consumer and tech brands like Microsoft and Seiko.

I live in San Francisco with my husband, Moritz, and orange cat, Pinot. I use AI to help copyedit (it often fails), but all writing is my own.
