She's held editor roles at The Knot, Latina magazine, Marie Claire, and Well+Good, and her byline is all over the place including Refinery29, Byrdie, Elle, The Atlantic, and more. She graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University with a degree in Journalism (emphasis on magazines) and a minor in African history.
