bio

Journalist by day, writer when all else fails. I write and take pictures of things that inspire me.

My work has appeared here, here, here and here. At 25, I moved to New York to give journalism one last try before committing myself to a nunnery, or, you know, finding something that made money. After sufficiently flailing about, I stumbled upon a neat reporting job writing about Google things, music rights things and invention things for an intellectual property law magazine.

Here, I write about life and its (mis)adventures, like surviving the city’s oppressive summer without a/c, the impermanence of roommates, and how celebrity encounters render me a spastic mess. My photo expeditions yield discoveries of the non-cherry blossom kind, of graffiti-covered walls and, most interestingly, of people.

My travels, meanwhile, have taken me to the super far and the not so far. I still say studying abroad was one of the best things I ever did in college.

E-mail me if you have a burning desire to tell me stuff you can’t tell me here. For everything else, there’s Twitter and Tumblr.

    Hi Karen,

    I read through some of your posts. Traveling, writing, and photography – is a neat combination:) and I guess it sums up to make Journalism.

    Warm Regards,
