About Me

I’m a journalist in Southern California who writes about health, fitness, food, wine and travel. For nearly two decades, I’ve covered everything from food to sex—and what results from both: obesity and parenting. But my expertise lies in health and nutrition, and I have a knack for translating complex medical information into easy-to-digest language.

You’ll find my byline in niche publications, anthologies and popular newsstand magazines, including AARP, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, Parents, Reader’s Digest and O, The Oprah Magazine. I also regularly write for websites including WebMD.com and BabyCenter.com.
