I am an award-winning journalist and editor with over 10 years in the health and science space. My work has appeared in publications including CBS News, Popular Science, Scientific American, The Scientist, Discover, Audubon Magazine, TheWeek.com, Newsweek, and Popular Science. I have also worked in audio for a number of science podcasts and hosted my own audio show on the history of fairy tales.

​

I am passionate about creating content that sheds light on invisible illnesses and exposes gaps in care. I am currently working on my first novel about a teenager with dreams of becoming an actress, whose life is shattered when she's hit by a car. Struggling with the physical and emotional aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, she battles addiction, self-doubt, and the weight of past trauma. 

​

In my spare time I love to paddleboard, swim, bike, and travel. I live in Chicago with my husband, two kids, and cat.
