Nicole Clark

For Nicole Clark, a contributing editor at Catapult and freelance journalist, pursuing journalism was always a "pipe dream"- writing was something she had been passionate about since childhood, but she worried about the career path's instability and believed she would major in economics or communications. During her time at Yale, Nicole realized the classes she were most drawn to was her creative writing ones and she gave herself a two-month trial period to pursue journalism. Fast forward to today, Nicole has continued her love of creative nonfiction by writing numerous personal essays about and editing essays at Catapult. She's also written for publications including the New York Times, Vox, New York Magazine, Salon, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Los Angeles Review of Books.
