Biography

As a freelance writer and editor, I've covered everything from food, cocktails, and travel to shopping, fashion, and business topics for digital publications and tech and media brands. Recent assignments include food trend and e-commerce stories for Martha Stewart Living, travel stories for TourRadar's Days to Come magazine, and blog posts for American Express Business Class Trends and Insights. For six months in 2022, I was a Senior Editor for Staffing.com at Toptal Publications, and in 2021, I held a contract role as a part-time content lead for MediaVision, a London-based digital marketing agency. I spent over seven years at Google as a Senior Content Strategist where I helmed the creative and strategic development of high-impact editorial content for complex projects, including Neighborhoods, a Hotels product that helps travelers discover the best areas to explore, and Google Maps Travel lists, a Travel product that guides users towards unique attractions and stores (from boutiques to souks) in cities worldwide. While at Google, I was also a Zagat/Google Dining Blog Editor, overseeing local editors in key markets, writing trend stories, organizing the tentpole calendar, and compiling a weekly newsletter featuring restaurant and dining stories. As a side project, I contributed to Google Doodles. My past positions include Senior Editor at Zagat Survey, Managing Editor at Apparel Insiders, and Daily News Writer at MTV News. I’ve written articles, profiles, and copy for magazines, digital publications, and websites including Edible Brooklyn, Fairmont Hotels Magazine, Footwear News, The New York Times, This Old House, Rodale’s Organic Life, Vintage Magazine, and The Washington Post, plus branded content (advertorials) for The New Yorker and The New York Times Marketing Services.
