Writer. Editor.

About

I’m a memoirist and magazine editor based in Austin, Texas. You can find my work here and at the Alcalde.

I’m also mom to a 6-month-old kitten named Milo. When I’m not writing, I’m reading.

 
 

Education

I recently graduated Phi Beta Kappa from The University of Texas with a Bachelor of Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in Plan II Honors. I also earned a certificate in Core Texts through the Thomas Jefferson Center and a minor in English.

As an undergraduate, I spent nearly nine months living and working in Paris, France, including a semester at Sciences Po, the Paris Institute of Political Studies.

 

What’s Next

I’m thrilled to be staying in Austin as the managing editor of the Alcalde magazine, the official publication for the Ex-Students’ Association of The University of Texas. Pitch me Longhorn stories at eliza.pillsbury@texasexes.org.
