Lifestyle

I love writing stories that inspire readers to live fuller, healthier, or more creative lives by exploring trends in food, fitness, relationships, travel, and other areas. Here’s where my knack for writing in a friendly, conversational style and finding those elusive real-person sources comes in handy. 

From cocktails to arts and culture, my lifestyle stories have appeared in The Boston Globe Magazine, BUST Magazine, DailyCandy, Pregnancy Magazine, SELF Magazine, and YourTango.com, to name a few.
