About I am a freelance writer based in Brooklyn. See my work here.I have a B.A. in English and Portuguese from Middlebury College, and am currently an M.A. candidate at the NYU Literary Reportage program.
Projects
I am currently writing about humanity's relationship with caves, catacombs, tunnels and other spaces underground. The project is mostly based on a year of research funded by the Thomas J. Watson Foundation during which I traveled to thirteen countries, exploring underground spaces such as the cisterns under Naples, the tombs in Egypt, or the war tunnels in Vietnam. I documented myths and legends attached to each space as a way of understanding the place of the underground landscape in the human imagination. Eventually, it will be a book.
