I'm a writer, essayist, and writing instructor based in Los Angeles. For over a decade, I've contributed to The New York Times, National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, The Washington Post, PBS, The Wall Street Journal, Offspring, GoodHouskeeping, and Parents, among other major outlets.
Here's a glance at some of my pandemic coverage:
In addition to feature articles and essays, I write and ghostwrite content for non-profits including Yale School of Medicine, Points of Light, and The Children's Health Fund. From 2012-2016, I wrote several hundred articles for CafeMom, generating engaging content on parenting, health and food topics. I've also published short fiction in literary journals and recently completed my first novel, a romcom set on a fictional island in the Mediterranean overrun by wild goats.
