About
I'm a MSW candidate at Boston College, graduating in May 2026. I am most passionate about understanding the societal and individual effects of technology. In 2023 and 2025, I worked as a freelance editor for two New York Times #1 Bestsellers: The Anxious Generation and The Amazing Generation.
Before grad school, I built instructional designs at Bay Cove Human Services. Before that, I managed client relationships and offered data-based marketing insights at Comscore. I live and work in the Boston area. Outside of work, I love spending time in nature with my dog Bewley, having game nights with family and friends, and exploring new places.
