Professional/Personal Overview
I'm an award-winning writer, editor and content strategist specializing in health, diet, nutrition, parenting and celebrity profiles. And if you ask me nicely enough, I'll probably write on just about anything! I've written for Parade, Real Simple, More, Woman's Day, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, Parenting, Parents, and dozens of other national magazines and websites. I excel in taking complicated material and making it clear to the masses.
