Editorial

As an editor and writer for publications like O, the Oprah Magazine; Entertainment Weekly; Real Simple, and BUST Magazine, I’ve written long-form features and cover stories, top-edited everything from personal essays to lip-gloss roundups, interviewed celebrities, and commissioned big-name writers. I was the *first person to use the phrase “bong water” in an issue of O Magazine. Yes, I have met Oprah.

*This claim has yet to be professionally fact-checked.

Here’s a small sampling of my work:
