About Me

I’m a writer, editor, and idea generator who’s produced multiplatform content for nationally known media outlets and other organizations, including Real Simple; O, The Oprah Magazine; Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia; the New York Times Syndicate; and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

My primary beats are health, wellness, psychology, relationships, and general strategies for better living, which has led me to juice in the woods near Houston, meditate at a New Jersey car dealership, and study at Alain de Botton’s School of Life in London. I've interviewed physicians, monks, neuroscientists, cancer survivors, and many other experts and extraordinary ordinary people, not to mention the great healer Dolly Parton. I also co-hosted the Real Simple podcast “Minor Issues, Major Opinions"—a spirited debate of such divisive subjects as top sheets (yea or nay?), toilet-paper orientation (roll from the top or bottom?), and plane etiquette (should the middle-seat passenger always get both armrests?)—which won a Folio Eddie Award for Best New Podcast.
