ABOUT ME
I’m an experienced business, finance and health and wellness writer and editor who tells the stories of the people and companies that are changing our world for the better.
I got my start at The Wall Street Journal, where I reported on global financial markets during the height of the credit crisis. I've covered breaking financial news, interviewed top executives, government officials and celebrities, and have appeared as an expert commentator on WSJ Video. From there, I took a role in marketing and communications at JPMorgan Chase, working with senior leaders to develop content and messaging.
Now, I use my skills as a reporter and my marketing know-how to help companies better reach and inspire their clients. I get a thrill from "translating" complicated ideas and concepts into simple and fun-to-read copy that inspires, entertains and moves people to take action. I never miss a deadline, put sources at ease and am a fountain of fresh ideas. Clients see me as part of their team. I also continue to flex my journalistic muscles, contributing to top publications.
I've written for publications and clients including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Houston Chronicle, Barron’s, Newsday, MarketWatch, the Christian Science Monitor, the Houston Business Journal, Wellesley magazine, Rice Magazine, Rice Business Wisdom, J.P. Morgan, MD Anderson, Keller Williams, Hewlett Packard, the Greater New York YMCA, WebMD, The New York Times T Brand Studio, the American Heart Association, Marcus By Goldman Sachs, GT’s Kombucha, Headspace, Journey Meditation, Investopedia, The Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center, Dana Consulting and Medical Inflatables.
I'm a committee co-chair with the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), a member of the Historical Novel Society and the Association of Health Care Journalists, and I am fluent in Spanish. I have a Master of Arts degree in Journalism and Latin American Studies from New York University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and Psychology from Wellesley College. I have taught freelance writing workshops at Inprint, Houston's premier nonprofit literary arts organization.
In my spare time, you might find me on the yoga mat, learning to make kombucha or seeing a new foreign film. I'm also hard at work on my first book—the true story of how my great grandparents helped a group of European refugees escape the Holocaust.
