Journalist. Community builder. Debut novelist.

I’m a journalist and community builder working at the intersection of women’s health, longevity, and science. I believe good communication is a form of care, and I bring that mindset, along with a decade of evidence-based storytelling and community strategy, to every project I take on.

My writing appears in National Geographic and Business Insider. I lead community and membership at Livelong Media, where I’ve helped build a space for 70,000+ women navigating health and longevity on their own terms. And I just finished my debut sci-fi novel, Home Planet.

I’m based in Denver, CO, where I spend my days herding cats, children, and words on the page. Not necessarily in that order.

Why I focus on women’s health

It took me two years to figure out what was happening with my own body. Two years of symptoms, dead ends, and doctors who weren’t asking the right questions, until I realized the research they were drawing from often wasn’t designed with women’s physiology in mind at all.

So I started digging. Into perimenopause. Into how hormonal fluctuations change everything from how we fast to how we sweat to how we sleep. Into why so much longevity research defaults to male biology. Into the gap between what women are living and what the science actually says about us.

That’s what drives a lot of I write these days and my work with the Livelong Women’s community we’re building. I believe good communication is a form of care, and I bring that mindset, along with evidence-based rigor and emotional intelligence, to every story I shape and every community I build.

I believe that women deserve a health conversation built for them. One that takes our biology seriously and gives us somewhere to gather with people asking the same questions we are.
