SOME LONGER MAGAZINE STORIES I'VE WRITTEN
"I just emailed Joe personally to show him the article, it's so considered and beautifully written!!! I’m not usually this gushy over articles but you have a way with words, lady! You’ve captured the essence of who he is and I really appreciate that as that side of him I feel is seldom shown."
—Anisa Topan
"A lot of times I think things get a little twisted or lost in translation somehow, but you hit it on the head. Really great and thorough piece. Had to say thank you for the attention to detail and spot-on portrayal of me and my thoughts and general ideas. By far the most accurate to date!"
—Cait Oppermann

THE ARCHIVES
OLDIES BUT GOODIES
HELLO
I grew up in Minneapolis as a third-generation journalist. My parents were reporters for The Star Tribune, and my grandmother had been an editor for The Daytonian in the 1930s-1950s.
After graduating from Indiana University's School of Journalism in Bloomington, I moved to New York, where I work as a senior staff editor on the News Print Hub of The New York Times. I write headlines and display copy, and edit stories for the newspaper's front page and news sections.
Previously, I was the senior editor of Rangefinder, a photography magazine, and the deputy editor of Suited, an independent biannual magazine that focused on the intersection of fashion, art, design and music with politics and global impact.
