I was born in Limerick, Ireland, raised on the west coast of the United States, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Baffler, BOMB, The Believer, Granta, Literary Hub, The Nation, The Paris Review, the Poetry Foundation, The Point, The Yale Review, and more.

I’ve also worked on the editorial staffs of The Baffler, Vanity Fair, and The Paris Review, where my responsibilities included social media and newsletter copywriting. Currently, I am completing an M.F.A. in fiction at New York University, where I’m finishing a novel.
