I have worked at consumer magazines for much of my adult life, first as a Film Editor (TIME OUT NEW YORK), then as an Entertainment Director (GLAMOUR, SEVENTEEN, SELF) and most recently as an Executive Editor (WEIGHT WATCHERS Magazine). Now I've taken my interest in health, wellness and travel in a new direction by founding a content creation business for b2c and b2b clients, including AARP (magazine and website), CBS Watch Magazine, HarperOne and Johnson & Johnson. I specialize in ghostwriting everything from blogs to books in a clear, distinct voice that engages readers while reflecting a particular brand. When not at my desk, I'm usually sweating to salsa music at Zumba class, kicking up a storm in Body Combat, or riding up the West Side Greenway on my ten-speed.
