Hi! I’m glad you found me.
I’m Celia, a writer (of nearly anything and everything) based in New York City. I’m currently a reporter for Newsday, where I cover business and development. In a not-so-past past life, I was Brick Underground’s senior writer, where I covered the city’s insane housing market. If you have questions about commercial or residential real estate, I probably have answers.
You can also find my work in Hell Gate, The New York Times, Commercial Observer, W42ST, MUBI’s Notebook, Madame Architect and Madison Magazine, to name a few spots. I have worked in graphic design, social media management, photography, and book publishing. And I occasionally blog about my dreams online.
I’ve had many odd jobs because journalism, as an industry, is in a rough spot. If you’re interested in reading more about the business, check out my thesis on alternate funding models for local news, and subscribe to a local newspaper if you don’t already. I’m a proud Hell Gate subscriber, but I would also recommend WNYC/Gothamist, The City, and the myriad of other wonderful publications in and outside NYC.
If you want to speak with me about a reporting project, do it! I dare you. I can be reached by phone or over email.
I sporadically post my work on Bluesky and X (Twitter). Feel free to follow me there as well.
