Well, the "next few months" turned into about 15 months, but I finally wrapped this gig at @Cosmopolitan! I'll hopefully still be an occasional contributor, but I'm also v excited about my next steps. If you need an SEO or commerce writer, get in touch at the email in bio.
✨ some personal news ✨. I'm a full-time freelance journalist now! It's something I had wanted to do for a while, and I'm lucky to be starting the full-time freelance journey at @Cosmopolitan, where I'll be working on digital content for the next few months.

To save money and avoid crowds of tourists on my trip to Bali, I stayed in a rural, less popular region: Sidemen. I loved the area and my resort.

this both filled me with glee and made me deeply miss San Diego.
I wrote about the California burrito—carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream and french fries in a tortilla—which is the best dish to ever come out of my homeland of San Diego, despite never taking off nationally due to forces outside of its control.
