After receiving a master's degree in English literature from the College of William and Mary, I began my publishing career as an editorial researcher at Reader's Digest. I became an associate editor at the magazine before relocating in the mid-1990s to Washington, D.C.

While working as an editor on the copy desk at Congressional Quarterly for four years, I freelanced as a writer and editor for The Baffler. My essays were included in an anthology called Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos from the Baffler, which was published in by W.W. Norton & Company in 1997.

I became a freelance editor/writer in 2005. I edited books for Colonial Williamsburg Publications and was published in The Washington Post and Huffington Post.

I began writing a weekly humor blog for Bethesda Magazine, a regional magazine in the D.C. metro area in 2011, and then wrote features and news items for it.

I started as an editor and writer at The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2016 in the Chronicle Intelligence division, working on a variety of editorial projects, including special reports, webinars, and virtual events.
