About

I’m an editorial leader in digital media, strategizing for audience growth and engagement. On the day-to-day, you’ll find me working on attention-grabbing, responsibly reported content across platforms. But I also love coming up with revenue-driving projects (or building on ones that already exist). In addition to guiding edit teams toward company KPIs, I’m all about mentoring junior writers on my team and beyond. I’m always happiest working across departments to generate buzz and make other brands jealous. For most of my career, I've been focused on health and wellness content at brands like Parents and Women's Health magazine. In 2017, I joined Cosmopolitan as the senior wellness editor, becoming Hearst's first editor to work on both print and digital teams. I eventually became the brand's lifestyle director, leading the team's coverage of health, home, career, money, travel, and food. Today, I'm focused on mental health as the deputy editor at Wondermind. My work has reached millions of eyes across the U.S. and internationally.
