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, plus a writer and editor.

I began my career as a reporter for my hometown newspaper, where I wrote about things like 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. I regularly contributed sponsored, social, and traditional content to content studios, brands, pubs, and websites such as The Bump, The Foundry, Everyday Health, HealthCentral, Subaru, and Fisher-Price. And during any given month, you'd find my byline in the likes of EatingWell, Parents, Weight Watchers, and many more.

Most recently, 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.
