I’m an experienced journalist and content writer, focusing mostly on personal finance, retirement, wealth management, healthcare and health. My stories have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, AARP online, U.S. News & World Report, Money magazine, and Kiplinger, among other publications. My content clients include large financial institutions.
I spent two years on staff at the Wall Street Journal as the lead writer for the health blog and as a contributor to the paper. Before that I was a senior writer at U.S. News & World Report. I started my career as a business reporter at Bloomberg News and TheStreet.com.
While at USNWR I was part of a team that was a finalist for a National Magazine Award, and I was a Knight Science Journalism Boot Camp Fellow in both food and medical evidence.
