Hi there. I'm a writer and editor based in New York City.

Over the past 16+ years, I've written everything from long-form features to infographics and charticles; news analyses to personal essays; book reviews to web video scripts. I find the best and most strategic ways to tell unforgettable stories and make persuasive arguments, and I know how to package information so that it's clicky, compelling, relevant, and fresh. I write and edit for magazines, web sites, and corporate clients.

A little more about me: I’m the Health and Wellness Director of O, The Oprah Magazine, where I oversee the Feeling Good section as well as regular health features and themed editorial packages. As the former web health editor at Oprah.com, I helped relaunch the site (twice!) and developed and managed the content strategy of the Health vertical. I also wrote hundreds of stories about health and wellness. Hundreds of stories—and that's not including the videos I scripted and outlined or the countless ideas I pitched for other sections of the site (including food, inspiration, home, books, and style).   

I'm a former health editor at SELF magazine. I've also held staff positions at ELLE magazine, where I fact-checked and wrote articles (often about my ambivalence about motherhood), New York magazine, and Salon.com. 

I've written about parenting, psychology, pop culture, art, books, design, fitness, weight loss/nutrition, beauty/style, weddings, travel...and interesting people, in general. I'm currently focused on health and wellness because I have a knack for translating research into never-heard-that-before advice. I also love helping people live healthier, longer, and happier lives.
