I’m a writer and reporter who is particularly interested in what happens at the intersection of labor, politics, and landscape.
My writing has been published by Harper’s, the Oxford American, the New Yorker, n+1, 1843, the Nation, California Sunday Magazine, and the Yale Review, among other outlets, and in the anthologies City by City: Dispatches from the American Metropolis (n+1/FSG) and A World Out of Reach (Yale University Press). I also work in film as a development researcher.
I grew up in Arizona, studied comparative literature at Brown University, and worked on the editorial staff at the New Yorker. I live in Austin, Texas.

I'm represented by Adam Eaglin at The Cheney Agency.
