As a journalist and recipe developer, I have a decade of experience in food and nutrition media. I have written thousands of articles and recipes for national outlets, including SELF, BuzzFeed, HuffPost, Eating Well, Outside, The Kitchn, and Health. I have also been a guest on local and national TV shows, including Good Morning America, Meredith, and NY1.
My writing is evidence-based, inclusive, and non-stigmatizing. I cover a wide variety of food, nutrition, and general health topics from a weight-neutral, social justice lens.
My recipes are geared towards busy home cooks with limited time.
You’ll find a sample of my favorite articles and original recipes below.
Rates for writing, content strategy, and brand consulting are available upon request.
