Discover Top Reporters / Journalist in Lakewood, New Jersey, USA

As an editor I've got deep content marketing and journalism experience, for major big-name media companies that you've heard of and for lots of corporate and institutional clients (you’ve heard of many of them, too). White papers and corporate reports are a specialty of mine, in addition to content marketing. I'm a former newspaper editor. My writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and other New York Times sections (including the Book Review), Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, The Spectator (UK), The American Scholar, Details, and other venues. My BA and MA in English are from Columbia. I was in the PhD program there for a while, too, but academia was not for me. I lived in Eastern Europe for a long while (I went over for a journalism job and just...stayed), but am glad to now be back home in NYC. In addition, I'm an experienced translator of texts from Russian into English.

Growing up as the daughter of a Catholic-Mexican mother and a Muslim-Palestinian father, I spent most of my childhood asking questions. My early travels between the Middle East and the United States, as well as the switch between three different languages at home, led to the passion I have for exploring the unknown and the constant curiosity of the world around me. For these reasons, international stories have become the main focus and goal in my career. The stories I like to hunt for are personal accounts of an issue, such as profiles, that show the bigger picture of social or global problems and changes. I also love hunting new cultural developments, like how an increased population of immigrants in certain areas has effected the culture of a society. Or the everyday life of a family that was displaced outside its home country because of a war or revolution. As a traveler myself, I am always in search of travel-stories.

I'm going on 32 years old. I have no children and am unmarried. I love traveling and have very little fear when it comes to going anywhere or being around anything. I've lived in 4 states in the last 6 months. I moved to New York to pursue acting and have made an appearance in a movie and two television shows since being here. I'm not afraid to live rough and have once spent nearly ten months camping in the elements. January-October 2019. I'm intelligent and friendly. I love to engage people in thought provoking conversations. After watching the numbers reported by the media on the Corona virus I set out to find the truth. I spent a day on the streets doing interviews and taking my own polls. It was fun but not as exciting as I would have liked it to be. I would love to get involved with reporting. Give me 5 minutes of your time and I'll convince you I am the man for the job.
