Lately I've been working on a documentary

First and foremost a lover and scribbler of stories, I am also interested in traditions and mysteries, queerness and art, museums and feelings.
At the Columbia Global Paris Center, I work as communications coordinator to share our public programs, civic engagement initiatives, and the Atelier podcast with a wide audience of scholars and artists, students, and the general public.
​
As a master's candidate at the École normale supérieure, my research focuses on fairy tales, feminist and leftist intellectual history, and practices of literary adaptation.
As a freelance editor and researcher, I undertake both literary and academic projects.
In days of yore, I worked as a full-time research assistant on a book about the Louvre Museum by Elaine Sciolino, best-selling author and erstwhile head of the New York Times Paris bureau. I contributed reporting and research to several of her New York Times articles.
​
I have a B.A. in history and medieval studies from Columbia University, where I received departmental honors and the Carl B. Boyer prize in the History of Science for my senior thesis.
My artistic practice today weaves between handicraft, illustration, digital media, and photography. I draw from the well of my conservatory education in fine arts at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music, Art, and Performing Arts, where I specialized in painting and photography after two years of foundational and technical courses.
​
I was born and bred in New York City, and am fluent in English and French. ​Before moving to Paris, I lived in the verdant French Basque Country, where I worked at the local tourism office.
Installée à Paris depuis 2021, je suis une écrivaine et chercheuse franco-américaine. En tant que chargée de communication au centre de l'Université Columbia à Paris, je m'investis dans la promotion de notre programmation culturelle, du podcast Atelier, ainsi que dans nos engagements associatifs. Candidate en master littéraire à l'ENS, j'étudie les contes de fées, l'histoire intellectuelle féministe et de la gauche européene, ainsi que les pratiques d'adaptation littéraire. En tant que rédactrice et chercheuse freelance, je travaille sur des projets scientifiques et littéraires, dont un livre à paraître sur le musée du Louvre. Née et élevée à New York, je suis diplômée en histoire médiévale de l'Université Columbia.
