Business

My articles on small business and entrepreneurship have appeared in publications including The Atlantic’s CityLab, The Boston Globe, Entrepreneur.com, and OpenForum.com. I’ve also written for trade magazines including Cheers Magazine, Dance Retailer News, Fresh Cup Magazine, and Pizza Today. 

Over the course of my reporting, I’ve interviewed tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, business professors, best-selling authors, and many others, covering everything from crowdfunding a startup to creating mobile apps.
