Professional Experience

I’m a journalist, content strategist, doting auntie, amateur bobsledder, fitness enthusiast, and wannabe health nut (who loves chocolate and pizza too much to fully commit). I don't want you to think my life is perfect. It's not.

Living with rosacea
(MSN Healthy Living 8/1/2013)
A personal account of living with the skin condition rosacea. I have it. My mom, sister, and a few aunts and uncles all have it. I was initially crushed by my diagnosis (and treatment plan of no spicy foods, alcohol or hot beverages), but learned life is still worth living.
