the time has come. 🥹 today is my last day at @elleusa. after nearly seven years at hearst, more than five of which were spent at ELLE, i’m moving on to a new company and a new role—still in media, still editing—and i’m eager to share the news officially next week. but bidding farewell to the people who’ve made ELLE my second home is profoundly bittersweet.
i’ve spent almost the entirety of my career thus far at hearst: first as an editorial assistant, then as an associate editor at ELLE, then a staff culture writer, and finally senior culture editor. all that time, i’ve been fortunate enough to be surrounded by people i not only respect as colleagues but whom i adore as friends. that’s a privilege i do not take lightly.
at the same time, i’ve had the gift of meeting and working with hundreds of wonderful folks in the publishing, entertainment, and arts industries: authors who became confidants, actors who became peers, publicists who became my companions at a dizzying array of coffee meetings and cocktail hours. (i think it’s telling that what i remember most about all those meetings now is the laughter.)
on top of that, i’ve gotten to edit writers whose reporting inspired and thrilled me. (and—hint, hint—i hope to continue to do much of the same in my next role.) i got to spend my hours paging through a truly mind-boggling number of books! i got to wear beautiful clothes! i got to sit on stages with some of the most talented people in hollywood and not spontaneously combust! my gratitude is—and will always be—enormous.
throughout my time at ELLE, i hope i have given all of you even a fraction of what you’ve given me. thank you for everything.
now, onto the next 🥰

things have been overwhelming lately!! and they have also been so beautiful. reminding myself that one does not negate the other, yadda yadda. 🙈 i’m thankful for the past few months, what they’ve taught me, and the people who made them special.

stuck inside with a cold so reliving this sunny post-event photoshoot from a few weeks back. i’m wearing @danabandibrand, a slow fashion label i came across recently and now love. the corset top is one of the comfiest i’ve ever worn, and i’m an eternal sucker for a well-made matching set. (the sunglasses are my faves from @otraeyewear.)
as always, max had to make his appearance. 🐶
anyway, just dreaming of good clothes while i’m in recovery mode!! 🙈

today is my birthday ☺️ and while i’m very much looking forward to celebrating with my husband’s homemade brownies tonight, i didn’t want the day to go by without saying thank you to the many, many, many people, places, and pets that contributed to my 30th year being such a transformative one. i am grateful, today and always. now onto ♥️31♥️

with her upcoming book THE SIXTH FACTION, @veronicaroth is returning to the DIVERGENT series—not with a prequel or a sequel or a spin-off, but an alternate-universe reimagining of her dystopian saga. it was such a pleasure interviewing veronica a few weeks ago for an exclusive @elleusa piece about the story behind THE SIXTH FACTION, and it was just as much fun to help reveal the book at bookcon @bookcon earlier this morning. link in bio to get all the details. 📚

NEW OA COURSE!
How does a personal essay become publishable? What happens after the draft is done—and how do you learn to see your own work the way an editor does?
This Masters’ Series course, led by Condé Nast Traveller (@condenasttraveller) editor Matt Ortile (@mattortile), is devoted entirely to the art and practice of editing personal essays for publication. Each session features a different guest editor—Tajja Isen (@tajja.isen) from Orion (@orion_magazine), Lauren Puckett-Pope (@laurpuckett) from Elle (@elleusa), Daniel Gross from The New Yorker (@newyorkermag), and Adrian Rivera from The New York Times Op-Ed Section (@nytimes)—whose work illuminates important approaches to the process of editing and working with an editor in a professional capacity.
Students will have the opportunity to pose questions directly to these editors and to experiment with editing prompts inspired by their work. By the end of the course, you'll leave with a stronger, more polished essay, a refined pitch, and a clear understanding of how editorial relationships work—equipped not just to submit your work, but to revise with rigor, confidence, and intention.
Early bird pricing is available until April 14, scholarship applications are due April 21, and asynchronous participation is welcome. See you there!
