About + Contact

        I'm a freelance journalist, editor, and certified personal trainer, specializing in health, fitness, and wellness content. Within my writing, I hope to dismantle diet culture, show that wellness is not one-size-fits-all, help individuals discover the form of fitness and style of eating that’s best for them, and make healthy living easily understandable and attainable for all.

        Currently, I'm an editor at Equinox, as well as a freelance journalist for health, wellness, and lifestyle publications. Prior to my current role, I served as the assistant editor at SHAPE.com, primarily covering exercise tips, fitness modalities, workout trends, nutrition, and more. I'm also a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and have a youth exercise specialization from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

        My written work has been published by HuffPost, GQ, SHAPE.com, mindbodygreen, LIVESTRONG.com, PS (POPSUGAR), Well+Good, Women's Health, Wide Open Spaces, The Nessie, BYRDIE, Equinox, Health.com, SAVEUR, Hour Detroit, and Give Detroit, among others. My page layout designs have been published in Hour Detroit, DBusiness, and Detroit Home magazines. In 2021, my article on the mental health effects of climate change, together with other articles published in the SHAPE.com "Body on the Ballot" series, was a finalist for a Folio Eddie award.

        I'm a graduate of Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a bachelor's degree in Magazine Journalism and minor in Food Studies. During my time at Newhouse, I was awarded the Maria Riccardi scholarship for an outstanding junior woman in Magazine Journalism and the William Glavin Award for Excellence in Magazine Writing. My senior year, I represented the class as one of two Newhouse Student Class Marshals, and my article "Sweetening the Climate Change Deal" received an Honorable Mention for Local Climate Change Reporting from the Associated Collegiate Press.
