I wrote a memoir in high school. After reading it, my teacher urged me to keep writing. Of course, I didn’t. Instead, I planned to go to medical school but eventually found my way to the nonprofit sector where I worked for over 10 years. While I was developing innovative programs in workforce, economic and youth development, I realized something was missing. I missed writing and sharing stories. 

Today, I’m an award-winning journalist. I write about sports, science, and health. I especially love telling stories about the intersection of sports science and women athletes and wrote a book about it. UP TO SPEED: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes, will be published on May 16, 2023 by Riverhead Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

My reported features, profiles, and essays have appeared in The Washington Post, Outside Magazine, Runner's World, Family Circle, SELF, Eating Well, VICE, and espnW, among others. {See my portfolio here.} I also write for trade publications, professional associations, educational institutions, and brands. My clients include Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, Phillips Academy, the American Physiological Society, and REI.

In addition to writing, I’m a seasoned grant writer and have led and managed the full cycle of program development for requests to private and corporate funders as well as local, state, and federal government agencies. I earned my B.A. in Art History from Columbia University and my Masters of Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University.

I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband and two sons. I’m a lifelong athlete who likes to run, practice yoga, hike, swim, and surf.
