Professional Experience

I'm a Portland, OR-based freelancer who has worked the health beat for the past 12 years. I've covered a vast number of topics in that time, and I'm equally skilled at covering breaking news, crafting service and medical reference pieces, and writing celebrity features - both for print and for the web. I've written for The Washington Post's Health section, Women's Health, Gourmet, GQ, and others. These days, I write primarily for WebMD.com (their website and their magazine, where I've been a contributing writer since July 2009). I have written 300+ articles for WebMD since 2006.
