Welcome to my online portfolio — a digital record of my published work at various magazines and news outlets (because the internet does not, in fact, last forever).
Disclaimer: These are just copies, so the stories housed here will not be updated with new additions.
And a little about me?
I love writing, reading, and iced coffee in all seasons. Thanks for popping in!
A native Floridian who chased journalism to two of the coldest climates in the U.S. and halfway across the globe is nothing if not committed.
Before corona made her debut, I earned a master’s degree at the Medill School of Journalism and then traipsed over to Cape Town to cover human rights news. Between covering the news of the day, exploring the culture and gorgeous landscape of South Africa, drinking a little wine, and swimming with a few sharks, it was the best three months of my life …but we can chat about that over coffee.
When the pandemic put a pause on life as we knew it, I began freelancing for some of my favorite magazine brands including Shape, Martha Stewart, Real Simple, and Health, and quickly became a jack-of-all-stories—writing about anything and everything. With the start of the new year (RIP 2020), I officially joined Meredith Corp. (now People Inc.) as a digital producer for Departures. After a little internal hopscotch, I landed at PEOPLE, where I’ve worked for three years as a writer, senior writer, and now editor on the shopping team. I write and edit stories about products that might make your life a little better, with a few celebrity interviews mixed in (pinching myself daily to make sure this is real life).
When I’m not writing, I’m knee-deep in one to three books (likely thrillers), working on my own, watching reality television #Traitors, and spending quality time with my significant other (read: my dog, Stevie).
This website holds my collection of work, including published stories and personal musings. If you have spare time and a curiosity about me, dive into my ‘Diary’ where I spill the tea …on myself.
