NYC writer. Editor. Adjunct professor. West Village local. Avid traveler. Music, art, dance lover. Lit nerd. Currently living the freelance life while tackling the most joyous and rewarding role yet — mom (aka. the most wonderful and amazing descriptor I’ve ever had).
I graduated as an English major from Cornell University and received my master’s in journalism from NYU. As a print magazine veteran, I now spend much of my professional time writing and editing in the online world. Check out some of my more recent clips on everything from grown-up and child wellness, health, and development to pop culture, politics, and — of course — parenting.
