About

Having three times dropped out of college in my late teens and early twenties, I decided to go back at 27. I studied film and anthropology but figured at least one practical degree might be a good idea, so I dropped film and picked up archaeology. Indiana Jones always seemed to get steady work. In 2015 I moved to Spain for an excavation, and accepted a job teaching English as a means of acquiring a visa. I taught English and worked a bit in archaeology before realizing nobody would pay me to play in the dirt. At the same time, I was writing more and more and had the good fortune of meeting a great friend who opened the door to journalism for me. I got an apartment with a desk and a dog, picked up a day drinking red wine, and started typing. I currently write for Variety, which has allowed me to travel and make connections across Europe and Latin America. I write exclusively in English professionally but communicate daily in Spanish. In my free time, I write fiction with my friends.
