I write features and essays for health and lifestyle publications such as Business Insider, Real Simple, PS, HuffPost, Well+Good, SELF, Apartment Therapy, and more. As a regular contributor to American Kennel Club, I research and report health articles and how-to guides, specializing in dogs.
I work with publications to match their voice and create SEO-driven copy. My stories offer critical analysis and expert-backed information including my subject matter expertise in psychology, health, therapy, and dogs.
I love finding unexplored angles on universal themes, coming up with meaningful takeaways, and infusing empathy and humor into storytelling.
