Since the beginning of 2019, I’ve been a regular contributor to Jewish Rhode Island, a monthly newspaper with a strong online presence and a monthly print circulation of nearly 10,000. While I specialize in writing interviews and personal profiles, I frequently produce additional content in a variety of categories and styles.
To date I have written more than 50 pieces for the paper, including a number of uncredited briefs; my work has appeared in more than 20 consecutive editions. I also regularly edit, fact-check, and proofread each month’s issue prior to print. I’ve linked some of my favorite pieces below; to see more of my work, click here.
