I'm a critic and journalist based in Brooklyn. I write about culture, women, books and the arts, and anything and everything about life in New York.
My work has appeared in media outlets in Europe and the US – the New York Times, the Guardian, Salon.com, the Huffington Post, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Prospect magazine, Forbes Woman, the Daily Telegraph, the Irish Times, the Irish Sunday Independent, the Irish Echo, and the Irish Voice and its online version, irishcentral.com. I write book reviews, news reports, features, and opinion. In the past I had a monthly column in the Erotic Review, a literary magazine based in London.
I did some other things prior to entering the world of journalism. For a couple of years I taught ancient Greek at King's College London and I recently co-authored a book called The Philosopher's Banquet for Oxford University Press. Before that I completed a doctorate in ancient Greek literature at Oxford University (on "The self-presentation of intellectuals in Greek literature of the 2nd century AD," since you ask!).
But I wanted to see a bit more of the world so I decided to move into journalism. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to study cultural reporting and criticism at New York University. I headed for New York and here I am.
