Bio

I am an editorial intern at Mansueto Digital, the online division of Mansueto Ventures, which publishes Fast Company and Inc magazines, though I work predominantly for FastCompany.com, the magazine's web-partner.

I am a Connecticut native, but for my higher education I ventured to the great state of Colorado, where I was educated at The Colorado College. At CC, I majored in English, minored in Philosophy, and was a writer/editor for the college's student newspaper, The Catalyst.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading anything and everything, writing, and thinking about the editorial/creative process. I love outdoor recreation (skiing, fly fishing, paddling, etc.); I also enjoy comedy, music (playing and listening), and finally, the Red Sox pitching staff.

Personal slogan or motto

Living well is the best revenge

Comment: I could not agree more, and I have to say, I'm not in the least bit upset about it. I think that the "bloggers v. journalists" war is silly, has jumped the shark, and really just needs to be put...
