About me

Picture
I'm a New York-based business journalist specializing in consumer news and personal finance, with experience covering beats including retail, shopping, technology and advertising. I've worked in multiple formats, including in-depth articles, news briefs, slideshow articles, blogs and short video segments. My work has been featured on TheStreet, Newsweek, DailyFinance, Fox Business, Yahoo, Business Insider and MSN Money. 

I'm currently a staff reporter at Aol DailyFinance, where I cover retail and consumer news.

A sporadically-updated list of recent articles can be found below, while an archive of past articles can be found in the portfolio section. Please use the contact page to email me or get in touch on social networks.
