I’m an award-winning journalist with more than 20 years of experience. I’ve written for publications from The Atlantic to The New York Times and taught as an adjunct professor at NYU’s graduate school of journalism and at Columbia’s school of communications. For the last couple years, I’ve worked with many high school students to refine their college and other essays. A number of them are now in the Ivy League or at their reach schools. I don’t write their pieces; I help them pull out the best of what they want to say.
I’ve long mentored younger/less experienced journalists around the world, and I’ve trained high-profile newsrooms on how to report sensitively on traumatic situations. You can read some my work on my Substack, Chills, where I pull back the curtain on how I’ve done international investigative reporting.
Besides my love of writing and teaching, I’m busy raising my exuberant Springer Spaniel, Xavier, and petting all the other dogs in Seattle. I’m originally from New York but have spent the last few years here kayaking and loving that I can see both a lake and the mountains from my city apartment.
If you want to listen to the UK’s Daily Telegraph, which named me “an awesome woman you need in your life on Twitter,” come follow me at @Wolfe321 and say hi!
