I’m a journalist and author born and raised in New York, and I tell stories about the people, technologies, and ideas shaping the future. I’ve reported for and led editorial teams at Wired, The Athletic, and Business Insider, covering everything from autonomous vehicles and electric aviation to Formula 1 and the engineers behind the systems we rely on every day. My debut book Driven: The Race to Create the Autonomous Car (Simon & Schuster, 2021), is an award-winning inside account of the self-driving industry. My forthcoming book, Kobuk the Destroyer: And Other Tales from the Wild, Unseen World of Test Engineering (W.W. Norton, 2026), explores the hidden world of product testing and the people pushing machines, medicines, and models to their limits to keep the world safe. After years in newsrooms across the country, I now live in New York’s Hudson Valley with my husband, daughter, and dog.
