About Me

Hi there — I'm Kristen, a New York-based culture editor and writer at Women's Wear Daily, with a background in digital media production. In the late 90s, I launched a webzine and coded my first website — I was ten years old — and I've been writing for an online audience ever since. I love storytelling in all its forms, and enjoy exploring different mediums of expression including written, visual, film, and performance. I graduated from Cornell University, and have taken courses in screenwriting and film/documentary production at SVA and NYU.
