Expertise

I contribute to all of PureWow’s lifestyle verticals, but my specialties lie in relationships, sex, interiors, travel and finance. When writing about dating, I have one goal in mind: to bridge the increasing gap between men and women in their love lives. (Whether that's through fantasy football or investment strategy terms.) I regularly collaborate with psychologists and neuro experts, and as the co-host of PureWow's dating series Cupid's Corner, I condense hours of research into bite-sized videos. 

As for interiors, I’ve had years of hands-on experience in the luxury design space, working with high-profile designers from Jordan Carlyle to Karen B. Wolf (who have appeared in Architectural Digest and Vogue Living, respectively). That on-the-ground training, paired with a passion for art history, helps me understand how style cycles repeat—and spot aesthetic throughlines to predict where trends are headed next.

Experience

I have a somewhat unorthodox background, making me a jack of all trades. My first internship was at The Wellery in Saks Fifth Avenue, establishing my foundation in the health and wellness space. I then moved on to Carlyle Designs, contributing to interior projects that appeared in Architectural Digest. My journey continued at William Morris Endeavor in 2019, allowing me to polish my writing skills by evaluating scripts and submitting coverage. After college, I was hired as a producer and media strategist at Karen B. Wolf Interiors, which is where I filmed and produced a podcast and wrote daily features. Eventually, I brought my “big three”—writing, wellness and interiors—to PureWow as an Associate Lifestyle Editor.

Education

In 2020, I graduated from Indiana University with a dual degree in communications and media law and policy.  In my journalism courses, I focused on opinion essay writing and non-fiction storytelling. My media law studies involved essential topics, like the ethical responsibility to the reader. And with a minor in gender studies, I learned how romantic relationships have evolved—and how they continue to evolve in today's cultural zeitgeist.
