I am currently Joint Head of the Translation Rights department. I joined Curtis Brown as a Rights Agent in 2005, and before that worked for six years at ICM, first in their New York office and later in London.

I look after translation rights for authors of Curtis Brown London, as well as for authors of Gelfman Schneider and ICM in New York.

I grew up outside Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, and studied political science and French and English literature at Duke University in North Carolina. After graduation I worked briefly as an internal consultant at JP Morgan in New York, and then attended the Radcliffe Publishing Course in order to make a career move to publishing.
