Including articles, features, talent interviews, and media appearances throughout my 5+ year career as a lifestyle, wellness, and health journalist.

A collection of my most impactful work as a senior writer, including celebrity profiles, investigative trend analyses, and voice-driven cultural commentaries about internet culture, modern dating and friendships, fitness and technology, and more.

Articles I've written and edited for SELF's first-ever advice column, which I pitched, spearheaded, and successfully launched in 2025 to help readers navigate the complexities of their own friendship problems.

I'm a lifestyle journalist with 6 years experience covering relationships, sex, internet culture, mental health, and fitness. Most recently, I was the sole lifestyle writer on staff at SELF Magazine, and before that, a founding reporter on USA TODAY's wellness section, which I helped launch in 2021. I'm fast on the news (fun fact, I started out my career in entertainment breaking news) but happiest when chasing an odd question or trend for a longer form feature. 

You'll also find my bylines in The Washington Post, POPSUGAR, Real Simple, and Outside.

I'm a health and wellness journalist with 5+ years of experience at the intersection of pop culture, lifestyle, and digital media.

Here, I've included some of my favorite wellness-specific clips, which include service listicles, SEO-optimized explainers,  talent interviews, and features.
