About

Award-winning New York Times journalist and co-author of "The New York Times Right at Home: How to Buy, Decorate, Organize and Maintain Your Space," published by Black Dog & Leventhal. My columns and cover stories for the Times and other top national publications have followed American families on their nomadic quests overseas; delved into the drama inside the Chelsea Hotel; and explored how the pandemic convinced parents to pack their kids off for boarding school. I craft deeply sourced, well-reported stories, some that are the result of months-long investigations and others turned around in a matter of days, if not hours. I skillfully blend colorful, dynamic storytelling with expert data, to deliver engaging, surprising and enterprising journalism. I am adept at interviewing celebrities, chief executives, political leaders, medical experts, lawyers, academics and activists. I can deftly parse through dense, complicated data, reports and surveys to find relevant information that propels a story forward. I have a knack for finding everyday people willing to share extraordinary stories. I am a frequent guest on T.V., radio and podcasts. To see my clips, bio and ramblings, visit rondakaysen.com
