Published Articles

Throughout my career as a journalist, I’ve been so lucky to write for a variety of publications both in print and online. It’s been the perfect line of work for a forever student who loves diving deep into a topic and then sharing her findings with others. Below, you’ll find articles on travel, design, food, women’s health, arts and culture, parenting, and relationships. Oh, and lots of New York City!
