"I learned the power of journalism at age 16, when a teacher introduced me to Ms. magazine. I knew I'd found my calling."

In the 15+ years since, I've been a reporter and editor at Ms. magazine, where a cover story I wrote prompted the FBI to change its ancient definition of "forcible rape." That's the power of journalism done right.

I've led teams at HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and Business Insider, covering a huge range of subjects — always through an intersectional lens, and always with the goal to be of service to readers.

Book: My first book, Healing with Red Light Therapy (Ulysses Press, 2020), draws on years of health reporting to make an emerging therapy accessible, practical, and grounded in science.

Today, as a senior copywriter and content manager at The LYCRA Company, I bring those same instincts to brand storytelling — helping iconic performance brands reach a new generation of shoppers who care as much about what's in their clothes as how they feel in them.

Whether I'm writing, editing, or building editorial teams, my north star is the same: storytelling as service.
