“I once worked for a company that expected you to work 10–20 hours of unpaid overtime every week. It’s illegal, but was never policed, so they got away with it.”

As a Senior Staff Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover real-life stories that explore relationships, lifestyle (including travel and beauty), and the internet's most fascinating trends.

"Newsflash: Those muscles you spend so much time on in the gym will fade away at some point, and it will be the relationships you didn't nurture by being present and attentive that will leave you feeling lonely."
