You may not recognize my name, although chances are you’re familiar with my work. During the last two decades, I've written, edited or otherwise refined hundreds of lifestyle features, essays, social media approaches, and more for print and online publications including Yoga Journal, Outside, The Washington Post, Real Simple, Martha Stewart Living, and other organizations, brands, and individuals.

​

I consider myself more a student than a teacher, although I also lead others through yoga.

And in everything, I meld the practical and aspirational to make the previously unimagined
seem a little—or a lot—more accessible.

I understand editing, writing, and teaching to be quite similar. Each affords a chance to be quiet enough to distill everything into its simplest truth.  From that place, you can share the most essential
and relatable story or concept or lesson. And I try to do so with originality, grace, and humor.

My perspective has been shaped by the crazily talented yoga teachers, editors, writers, photographers, art directors and consumer
marketing teams with whom I've worked
and studied over the years. This happens not
through woo-woo but brand awareness, market research, analytics, and an awareness of the basic human needs to feel seen, heard, and understood. 

​

If you're the sort who cares for the opinions of others, my reporting, writing and editing have been featured on the front page of Wall Street Journal Asia and NPR's Thanksgiving Morning Edition. My discernment at the keyboard and in the kitchen were included in The Best Food Writing and The Best American Recipes. I've repeatedly judged The James Beard Cookbook Awards. I've been sought after by award-winning custom media and fledgling apps. And the recipe website I curated was once referred to by The New York Times reporter Kim Severson as "The only source I trust besides The Times."
