ABOUT ME

I'm a writer, editor, photographer, and content strategist.

After starting my career at Travel + Leisure, I quickly discovered my passion for the art of storytelling. While working for T+L, and later for Condé Nast Brides as Features and Travel Editor, I created content that informs, educates, and inspires.

The best stories are ones that are lived, so I’ve made it my mission to explore the world. My passport has been stamped everywhere from Indonesia to Mexico, French Polynesia to
Sri Lanka, Morocco to Botswana. Along the way, I've reviewed countless five-star hotels (sometimes even undercover!), interviewed celebrities, swam with sharks, trekked with African bushmen, and more.

Whether writing from an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific or at home in Philadelphia, I create unique, thoughtful content for such publications as Travel + Leisure, Brides, Condé Nast Traveler, Martha Stewart Weddings, Real Simple, Robb Report, Bloomberg,  DuJour, Jetsetter, Philadelphia Style Weddings, Rosewood Conversations, TripAdvisor, and Traveler’s Joy.

Take a look at some recent clips and stay tuned for much
more to come!

TRAVEL

Always on the Go

As a self-professed beach bum, safe to say I've sought out some of the world's most spectacular stretches of sand (my favorites
​​being Anse Macquereau in the Seychelles and Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island, Bahamas). In between, I've torn
my MCL skiing in the American Rockies, (unwittingly) eaten crickets in Mexico's ​Yucatan Peninsula, flown over Victoria Falls
by helicopter, and learned to pick tea in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Here, a few choice memories:
