About ME

I’m a New Englander, a Brooklynite, and a recent Los Angeles transplant. I’m a slipper-wearer, a slow-cooker addict, a rescue dog owner, a dyslexia advocate, a motherless daughter, a cancer survivor, a married mom to two, and a writer and editor.

I began my career as a reporter for my hometown newspaper, where I wrote about the state of strawberry season and renovations to the local putt-putt. I went on to be a health editor at several glossies, including Self, Prevention, and Fitness magazines. After years of business casual and staff meetings, I packed it all in to work for myself, writing about what interested me the most: health, nutrition, parenting, and pregnancy.

As a freelancer, I worked as a contributing editor at Scholastic Parent & Child, I wrote the family health column for both Prevention and First for Women, and I regularly contributed sponsored, social, and traditional content to nonprofits, content studios, brands, pubs, and websites such as The Bump, DDM Studios, Everyday Health, The Skin Cancer Foundation Journal, HealthCentral, Subaru, and Fisher-Price. During any given month, you'd find my byline in the likes of EatingWell, Parents, TIME, and many more.

I merged my health journalism chops, my SEO-know-how, and my knack for distilling head-scratching medical info into "real-people speak" as staff writer and content strategist for Dr. Harvey Karp's Happiest Baby. Now, I bring that same expertise to my role as Senior Writer, Health Commerce at Yahoo Health, where I contribute to the sixth most visited website in the US that reaches over 2.69 billion visitors globally.
