Health Editor & Editorial Leader
I've spent more than 11 years directing health coverage, building editorial teams, and editing award-winning journalism at HEALTH, Women's Health, SELF, and Prevention.
I conceived a national reader survey on gut health, developed it with HEALTH's data team, and shaped the findings into a six-part package. It won Gold for Digital Health Media Article Series at the 2025 Digital Health Awards.
Conceived & ledSurvey-driven coverage of how Americans use GLP-1 medications and think about aging, from story ideas through assignment and final edits.
Developed & ledAn editorial series on health, culture, and identity, recognized for its inclusive reporting.
Created the seriesLed assignment and editing of evidence-based reporting that turned fast-changing science into guidance readers could trust.
Led coverageBuilt and scaled HEALTH's condition hubs, launching 100+ medically reviewed evergreen articles with freelancers, fact-checkers, and medical reviewers.

Health information can be hard to sort through on your own, and readers deserve coverage that is trustworthy and clear. That's the standard I've held as an editor, whether I'm deciding if a study supports a headline, pushing a story for one more expert, or coaching an editor through a tough draft.
At HEALTH I led day-to-day coverage decisions, approved nearly all pitches, managed three editors (two promoted in 2026), and introduced a collaborative headline-review process that other People Inc. brands adopted. Before HEALTH, I edited daily news, reported features, and print columns at Women's Health, SELF, Dr. Oz The Good Life, and Prevention.
I'm also an NASM Certified Personal Trainer, which means fitness content (and proper form) gets an extra level of care from me.
