About Me
I began my career in journalism as a writer and editor for a newspaper 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, and pasting up ads on a light table (omg!), I have covered a wide range of topics — from real estate 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 Manhattan residential trends in the pages of New York magazine. I then served as managing editor of magazines for the esteemed IT nonprofit organization ACM, 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 Ellie-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 digital and social media manager 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.)
