For the last six years, I’ve used evidence-based journalism to empower readers to make smarter choices about their health and well-being, reporting on a wide range of topics, from mental health and nutrition to chronic illness and infectious disease. I've held staff positions at McClatchy, BuzzFeed News, USA TODAY, and SELF. ​

​

Now, I'm a freelance health reporter. My bylines can be found in the Washington Post, New York Times, National Geographic, NBC News, the Guardian, Bustle, MedPage Today, Slate, WebMD, and Everyday Health.

When I'm not debunking the latest social media health trend or writing in-depth explainers on complex medical conditions, you can find me baking yummy desserts, teaching dance classes, or tending to my 16-year-old Maltese, Lily.
