"[Margaret] is smart, professional, and hardworking. [She] undertook any research or writing task I threw at her—often on short notice—without complaint, and delivered excellent results every time.... Her writing style is fluid and informative and editorial suggestions were accepted with grace.
Margaret is also a very organized and thorough individual with excellent communication skills. She knows how to prioritize, has a keen eye for detail, and is able to anticipate editorial needs."
— Megan Smith-Harris, Former Editor of Wilton Magazine
She graduated cum laude and with Phi Beta Kappa honors from the University of Vermont, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in writing, and double minored in art history and nutrition & food science.
Originally from Wilton, CT, Margaret returned to the Fairfield County area post undergrad, where she leveraged her tutoring certification as an English and electives teacher/mentor at Fusion Academy Fairfield, an individualized private school with a one-to-one teaching model. While teaching, she began freelancing, initially editing academic manuscripts and essays before becoming a contributing copyeditor for GOLF magazine. Most recently, she worked as a senior editor, contributing writer, and podcast co-host for AGEIST.
Margaret is currently based on Cape Cod, where she enjoys cooking, thrifting, working at a beloved local bookshop, and (sporadically) publishing personal essays on her Substack: HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE.
