Everything you need to know:

Hi! Thanks for checking out my page. Take a look at my clips above to see a sampling of what I've written and edited, and keep on reading to learn more about why I do it.

I've created content for some of the largest wellness brands in the world.

Throughout my decade-plus journalism career, I've aligned myself and worked with brands that take accuracy, authority, and trust seriously—something super vital in an online landscape where anyone can post anything about health or wellness. I've held editorial staff positions at Men's Health magazine, MensHealth.com, Runner's World, Bicycling, and, most recently, SELF magazine, where I served as the director of fitness and food. My work has also appeared in Glamour, WeightWatchers, and Silver Sneakers, among others.

I'm a service journalist through and through.

I pride myself in creating content that's accurate and engaging, the kind that can distill scientific findings and expert explanation into something that's informative, accessible, and easy to read (and, dare I say, enjoyable, too). When you read my stuff, you won't just be getting the generic overview—you'll walk away from it with practical tips and guidance that you'll actually want to slot into your own life.

I'm not afraid to think big.

Along with the day-to-day pieces of content, I've spearheaded editorial packages, led tentpole event coverage, and created comprehensive fitness programs for our readers. They're more than just editorial: All combine with social, video, newsletter, and other platforms to provide the best possible (and most fun) user experience.

I don't just write about wellness.

Outside the office, I'm a full-fledged health nerd who skims conference abstracts for fun and peppers casual conversation with a little too much weird body trivia. I spend most of my free time at the gym—I'm also an ACE-certified personal trainer—or running (or, more specifically, training for my third marathon). Building whole-body wellness is important to me in my own life, which helps me bring a unique sense of purpose, urgency, and importance to the "live your best life" pieces I write and edit each day. It means something to me, so I try my hardest to make it matter to the tens of thousands of viewers who read my work each day, too.
