About

My name is Alyssa Vaughn and I’m a writer and editor based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I’m currently a digital staff writer for Boston magazine, where I cover the ins and outs of city life—from the importance of winter weather, to the latest nerdy-but-cool happenings out of MIT, to the secret meanings behind Tom Brady’s Instagram posts. Before that, I wrote for the print and digital editions of Scout CambridgeScout Somerville, and St. Louis Magazine. I also developed curriculum and taught journalism to high schoolers as an AmeriCorps service member at Teens in Print.

I graduated from Boston College with a B.A. in English.
