Experience

I'm a freelance writer and content producer specializing in health and wellness. I regularly write for numerous magazines and websites, including Prevention.com, WebMD, and Woman's Day. I also create content for brands such as Johnson & Johnson, Premera Blue Cross, Sleep Number, and Beachbody. A 15-year veteran of the magazine industry, I served as Health Director at SHAPE before striking out as a freelancer. Prior to SHAPE, I spent several years at Woman's Day, where I worked on the print magazine, blogged for WomansDay.com, and hosted audio podcasts and web videos. Earlier in my career, I held staff positions at Weight Watchers Magazine and MORE.
