About Me
I began my career in journalism as a writer and editor for community newspapers in New Brunswick, NJ while attending Rutgers University. Since those early days of manning the fax machine for press releases, banging out articles, producing layouts in Quark (omg!), and pasting up ads on a light table (omg!), I have covered a wide range of topics — from human-computer interaction to graphic design to NJ dining — leading teams large and small in producing award-winning print and online publications.
At 24 years old, while managing editor for real estate publishing firm Yale Robbins, I received attention for my coverage of New York City residential trends in the pages of New York magazine. I then served as managing editor of magazines for ACM, the world’s largest scientific computing society, until I landed the role of VP, Content/Managing Editor for the groundbreaking "science is culture" magazine, Seed (R.I.P.).
I subsequently acted as the executive editor of the prestigious Elly-award-winning design magazine, Print, and then as the editor in chief of Kids' Monthly Publications' stable of parenting magazines, New Jersey Family, NJ Baby, and Raising Teens. I currently serve as the editor for Dining Out NJ and as the social media editor for the nonprofit The Child Center of NY, among other freelance roles and projects.
I received a BS in environmental and business economics from Rutgers' Cook College (now called The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences).
I was born in Central New Jersey and continue to reside there with my family and two truly dumb pets. (The dog means well. The cat not so much.)
