Hi!
I’m an award-winning journalist who specializes in explanatory narratives and feature writing. My work has appeared in publications like The New York Times, CHICAGO magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine and U.S. News & World Report. During my decade on staff at the Chicago Tribune, I was a Livingston Award finalist for a reporting series that prompted state legislation. I’ve received fellowships from organizations including the National Institutes of Health and The Carter Center. I’m drawn to stories about maternal health, well-being, trauma and resilience.
As a freelance writer, I specialize in writing news and features for universities, with clients including Duke University, Princeton University, Texas A&M University, Loyola University Chicago, the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, the University of Maryland, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Alaska.
I’m also an editor with experience managing editorial calendars and teams of reporters. I served as an editor at the Tribune, and I have worked as a contract reporter and editor for Forbes and Lonely Planet. I am also the author of the Woo Woo Writing newsletter.
I live with my family in Chicago, where I am often on a lake walk and always taking book recommendations.
