I write features, explainers, and commerce pieces for health and lifestyle publications. My how-to guides are designed to help people give their dogs the best life possible. I turn to my dogs, Dally🌈, Rusty🌈, and Frankie for inspiration.

My work has been featured in American Kennel Club, HuffPost, Business Insider, Real Simple, Popsugar, Apartment Therapy, The Kitchn, SELF, Katie Couric Media, Outside Magazine, Yoga Journal, Byrdie, and more.

I became a therapist before specializing in public health for my Ph.D. I create mental health resources and content through my platform, Smart Girl Therapy, to inspire wellness and personal growth.

As a storyteller and lifelong fan of The Golden Girls, I aspire to be "Picture it, Sicily, 1920-something,” but really I'm more "Back in St. Olaf."

• My Business Insider article about “floor time” appeared in the Sound of Science segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
• My advice on pet spending was featured in an article for The Globe and Mail
• My Business Insider article about diet culture led to an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show
