I am a Literary Agent and Movie Coordinator currently living in NY. My interests range from books to travel. I am also interested in movies, writing, and music.

Educational background: BA in history and English literature from Emory University, and an MA in Russian Culture from Duke University.

I translated a Russian novel by Oleg Kashin (“Fardwor, Russia! A Fantastical Tale …”) which was published by Restless Books.
