I'm a freelance editor and writer, covering a variety of topics including travel, food, drink, fashion, beauty, and well-being. Previously I worked at Fox News, StyleCaster, and Domino, researching and writing about lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and interiors...and most importantly, testing out all the latest and craziest beauty products. I also worked at SELF magazine and CBS This Morning.
 
I was raised on five acres in Oregon where I grew up riding horses competitively and exploring the outdoors with my family. While I enjoy the country, I love living in big cities. I recently relocated from New York City to Los Angeles and am excited for the endless sunshine, hiking, and wellness scene. 

I'm passionate about travel and spent a semester living aboard a ship in college sailing around the Mediterranean. Since then, I've continued to travel as often as possible. As of 2019, I've been to 18 countries, but it doesn't feel like nearly enough. My goal is to visit every continent and make it out of the country at least once a year. 
 
In my free time, you'll find me at the dog park, trying out new restaurants, reading a book, antiquing, scouring record stores, drinking wine, or exploring the restaurants and coffee shops around my city. I love food and will try anything once, but I'm also a total health nut. Give me anything with quinoa, kale, or avocado and I'm hooked. A few other interests of mine include tennis, hiking, going to concerts, listening to podcasts, and getting inspiration on Pinterest for the house I don't own.
