I am a non-fiction author and professor (38) seeking a private, furnished sublet in Manhattan for a focused writing and archival research residency, ideally for the month of March 2025, though I am flexible and happy to extend the stay into April if needed. I am a very quiet, responsible tenant who requires the space primarily for writing and sleeping, as my days will be spent conducting research off-site. My maximum monthly budget is $3,500. I am also very happy and reliable to assist with the care of any household plants or pets.

About This Lister

Hello there! I'm a 38-year-old woman (she/her) and an Ivy professor who brings the American cultural past to life with wildly passionate and creative energy. As a proud UC Berkeley alum, I’m fueled by curiosity and a commitment to understanding the world. My personal superpower—and occasional quirk—is finding humor in absolutely everything, keeping my outlook resilient, vibrant, and always focused on the magic of the world around us. While I spend my days teaching history and working as a non-fiction author, my heart beats to the rhythm of a constant creative flow: I love writing about American cultural history and I'm looking for a space in NYC where that work can thrive. I have a book coming out in March and my publishers have asked me to stay in the city. I am incredibly clean and quiet.

My interests are as rich and eclectic as the city itself: think deep dives into midcentury design and National Parks one minute, followed by spinning vinyl (rock, jazz, blues, Motown) and a debate over the best Muppet the next! If you're looking for an emotionally intelligent, attentive, and incredibly trustworthy tenant, look no further. I approach life with generosity, integrity, and a politically conscious mind. I’m eager to find a sanctuary—ideally one with character—where I can continue my teaching, writing, and delighting in the city's vibrant concert and art scenes. Let's make some magic! Please help me launch my book baby into the world!
