Professional Experience

A passionate freelance health and fitness writer, I've written about everything from "Yoga for the Non-Yogi" to "How to Combat Stress Eating." My work has been published in both national and regional magazines, as well as online. My tone is carefree, yet informative and educational, and I specialize in women's publications.
