Past positions include being the executive editor at Twist (Bauer Publishing), executive editor of ym.com (G&J USA), and co-founder of the Girls on Film Web site, which was ultimately acquired by Oxygen Media. I've covered relationships, beauty, fashion, fitness, health, and entertainment. I'm comfortable interviewing a variety of sources, from celebrities to experts, and I have good publicity contacts.
