I'm a fifteen-year veteran of the magazine industry, and when I tell you that I've written about a wide range of topics over the course of my career, believe me. I've interviewed female professional football players and middle-aged rodeo stars, I've covered my attempts to scuba dive inside a hot spring crater and kayak in the Hudson River, and I've had the honor to tell the stories of dozens of people with valuable life lessons to share.

I began my career at Glamour magazine, where I fell in love with health reporting. I went on to hold editing positions at Child magazine, where I was Lifestyle Editor, and New Woman, where I was Health & Fitness Editor.

In 1999, I gave up editing to write full-time, my lifelong dream. Since then, I've written for many of the nation's top, front-of-the-newsstand publications, including The New York Times, O, Real Simple, and Reader's Digest. I've written health and relationships columns for Redbook, I've been a health writer for the New York Daily News, and I was a contributing editor at Organic Style.

The subjects I cover reflect what I'm most curious about in my own life: how to navigate modern-day motherhood, how to live healthfully, and how to live a thoughtful, fully-realized life and enjoy the journey while you're at it.

I'm a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and the Vermont College of Fine Arts, where I earned an MFA in creative writing. I'm a member of the Authors Guild and the American Society of Journalists and Authors. I live in North Carolina with my husband, my daughter, and two big dogs.
