I’ve been working in the media world since the days before the internet existed, starting my career as an assistant for a small publisher at Time Inc. Eventually, I went on to hold editorial roles at Martha Stewart Living, InTouch, and OK! magazines, and contributed to titles such as Travel + Leisure and Brides. On the digital front, I oversaw content for the websites for The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View, and managed People.com’s day-to-day operations as deputy editor.

While at People.com, I had the opportunity to join the parent company’s first commerce team, spearheading the shoppable content strategy for brands including People, InStyle, Essence, and Entertainment Weekly. I was excited by this new world of e-commerce and loved providing readers with the best products to suit their lifestyle.

That ultimately led me to Apartment Therapy Media, where I currently oversee a team dedicated to testing and writing about products that can help anyone create a healthy, happy home on any budget. (I’m a bargain hunter and never pay full price.) Whether you’re looking for a new sofa, a nonstick frying pan, or a dreamy comforter, we’ll tell you which ones are worth your money.
