Professional Experience
I've written on topics ranging from pop culture to environmental issues to relationships to travel to pets for publications including O Magazine, Salon, Christian Science Monitor, The Globe & Mail, Cesar Millan and more. I have staff experience as a magazine editor and fact-checker, and have worked as a TV correspondent and radio show host. I now freelance full-time for magazines, newspapers and websites.
