Professional Experience

I'm a prolific writer, reporter, and editor with more than 15 years of experience covering parenting, health, yoga, religion, and music for online and print media. On everything from food to fitness to books to religious rituals, my career is a search for the answer to the eternal question, "What is the meaning of this?"
