ABOUT

I bring an editor’s eye, a strategic perspective, and 20 years of experience in journalism and digital publishing. My career spans reporting for People and leading editorial and content teams at AOL, Glam Media, and Tennman Digital.

I’m the Head of Editorial at AOL, where I lead a digital newsroom responsible for content seen by millions of readers each day. I bring an editor’s eye and a strategic perspective to building audiences, guiding teams, and shaping stories that connect with people.

Over the past 20 years, my work has spanned journalism, digital publishing, and entertainment—from writing for People to overseeing Justin Timberlake’s online content and serving as Executive Editor of Glam Media. My writing has also appeared in Newsweek, Forbes, and Parents.

I’m also the Founder and CEO of Written By Media, where I help executives and senior leaders find their voice through ghostwriting, bylines, and thought leadership. Across all of my work, I care about clear ideas, strong storytelling, and understanding the audience.
