I'm a senior literary agent who represents critically acclaimed and award-winning fiction and nonfiction writers; my list includes journalists, academics, historians, scientists, and musicians, among others.

I'm always on the lookout for fresh narrative nonfiction in the areas of popular science, big ideas, history, humor, pop culture, reportage, and what I like to call memoir plus (not quite straight memoir, but not quite straight narrative nonfiction either), in addition to voice-driven literary fiction with a bold plot and fresh, imaginative characters. I'm excited by strong female and underrepresented voices, the strange and speculative, and projects that ignite cultural conversation.

Prior to joining Aevitas in 2015, I was an agent at The Zoë Pagnamenta Agency, where I also handled contracts and foreign rights.

Originally from New Jersey, I graduated summa cum laude as a University Honors Scholar and Founders’ Day Award recipient from New York University, with a BA in Classics and English literature.
