My Story? Thanks for asking!

How I combine news and nutrition

I started my career as a community journalist in a small town where I learned all about razor clam digging. After that, I moved onto digital journalism. I was a homepage editor at a major website (you know, the one that comes preloaded on your new PC). 

​

After nearly a decade of that, constant news coverage made me an anxious mess, so I went to therapy and became a health and wellness journalist. 

​

From there I decided to improve the American health system from inside a health insurance company. I gave that my all for nearly 5 years. There, I became interested in preventing chronic health conditions, so I went to grad school and became a licensed nutritionist. 

​

But I can't quit journalism and content, so I combine the two.

Tracker Anxiety

I went on NBC Nightly News to speak about how health trackers can lead to anxiety. If you choose to track, I recommend limiting food and activity tracking to a week or so at a time.
