I am a writer based in New York.
Most of my work is in health and wellness journalism. I also write short stories and screenplays.
The stories I’m most proud to have written for CNET center on people or companies who think outside the box to improve their own wellness, or the health of other people (usually before it’s deemed “mainstream” or normal). They also include stories of people confronting the more complicated factors of well-being and the need for greater empathy and risk-taking in medicine.
Examples include:
ChatGPT for Self-Diagnosis: AI Is Changing the Way We Answer Our Own Health Questions (Won honorable mention in the 2024 Eddies awards for best single article in the consumer health category)
How I Use Sleep Deprivation as a Productivity Tool, and Why That’s a Terrible Idea

About me
I grew up in Wisconsin and studied print and digital news/investigative reporting at the Missouri School of Journalism. I’ve worked as a reporter covering different beats including health, technology, breaking news, music and business.
Over the last few years, I’ve been writing film scripts and improving my craft as a screenwriter.
In journalism and fiction (and in real life), I’m most interested in stories of people confronting old beliefs and hard truths in order to become bigger, more loving versions of themselves.
