CV

Professional Summary

I bring a unique perspective of someone who has worked in health journalism, for a health system, and whose spent countless nights explaining how policy influences our life at The Hill, Vox and USA TODAY. Nothing fills me up more than opening minds and driving change. 

 

Since a huge part of my identity has always been expressed through storytelling, I will continue speaking up for the issues that matter most to me.

 

I have built a career for myself as a versatile writer with an adaptive approach.
