I love: breathing deeply, being surrounded by more beauty than I can handle, and questioning the status quo.

I am a writer, editor, and content strategist based in Seattle. My work has appeared in publications including: Women's Health, Vice,  Prevention, Men's Health, Life by Daily Burn, Self, University Business, The Huffington Post, CNN, The Daily Beast, and more.

I thrive working cross-functionally to build new editorial products. I co-founded and served as editorial director of Chronicality, a publication designed to help young people live well in spite of chronic illness, and worked on a small team to develop Right as Rain by UW Medicine, a health publication serving the Pacific Northwest.

I was the first editorial hire for Healthline Media's condition-specific support communities, eventually spearheading the editorial strategy for the launch of Healthline's award-winning Bezzy communities.

I hold a master's degree in health communication from Northwestern University and a bachelor's in journalism from Marist College. I also completed the visual design program at General Assembly in San Francisco in 2019. I’m fascinated by design and the way design and words interact to tell stories.

As a passionate advocate of mindfulness and well-being, I taught yoga at Seattle studios and for the University of Washington’s Mindfulness Program from 2015-2018. I continue to teach privately and in small-group settings when I’m called to.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking, meditation, yoga, surfing, gardening, exploring mindful uses of technology, and building community.
