I'm a 25-year-old freelance writer from New York City. I've been living in the city for about five years now and have developed a strong passion for writing about social justice issues and politics. In my free time, I enjoy attending concerts at iconic music venues like Madison Square Garden or Radio City Music Hall and trying out new restaurants in different neighborhoods throughout the city.
I grew up in a small town in upstate New York where I was surrounded by nature and had easy access to outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing. These experiences helped shape my appreciation for the importance of preserving our natural resources and addressing climate change. After completing college with a degree in English literature, I decided to move to New York City to pursue a career in writing.
As a writer, I've been fortunate enough to have had several articles published in reputable publications such as The New Yorker and The Atlantic. My most recent piece explored the impact of gentrification on low-income communities in Brooklyn and has sparked interesting conversations about urban development policies.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar and writing music inspired by classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin or Fleetwood Mac. Music has always been a source of comfort for me and allows me to express myself creatively outside of writing.
