From beat reporter to opinion editor to storytelling coach.
Corinne started her career as a "runner" for the New York Daily News, where she chased crime, covered education and City Hall, and turned copy around for three deadlines on the rewrite desk. She dueled with an Olympic fencer, nabbed her first fake ID at 26 and penned an eyewitness account of an NYPD stop-and-frisk.
Her extensive reporting on juvenile justice in the Bronx and Harlem won her two fellowships from John Jay College as well as a Newswomen’s Club of New York Award for Beat Reporting. She earned an MFA from Columbia University, where she was awarded a teaching fellowship.
She has written op-eds about serving on a jury and teaching in nontraditional settings, reported on the unregulated world of life coaches and plumbed her own experience of reporting an incident to the Manhattan Special Victims Unit. She believes stories can be found in unexpected corners, and she’s interested in how even the simplest questions can help us challenge and reframe common perceptions.
Her journalism, essays and fiction have been published in outlets as varied as Forbes, The London Reader and Lakeshore Review. As a deputy editor at Forbes, she helped shape content by expert contributors, designed and led seminars on headlines, ledes, sourcing and attribution, and moderated panels at From Day One, Running Remote and Worktech.
