I co-edited a book about American Girl and the Pleasant Company with KC Hysmith for the University Press of Mississippi. It’s available now, and has been covered in the Boston Globe, Garden & Gun Magazine, and the Jewish Book Council.

current Lilith Magazine contributor + development consultant for In geveb ; former politics writer at the Jewish Women's Archive + editorial fellow with Southern Cultures

I earned my MA in 2021 from the Folklore at UNC-Chapel Hill researching the music and writings of Jewish partisans during the Holocaust. I’m interested in the history of Folklore as a discipline, Yiddish as a living language, the politics of secular Jewish identity in the United States, abortion rights and accessibility, labor organizing, and girlhood (broadly construed). I work in reproductive justice full-time, live in Los Angeles (for now) and have two perfect cats (for always).
