Looking for a creative, witty, and trend-savvy writer specializing in lifestyle content? You've come to the right place. In addition to being an editor, blogger, and content creator with thousands of bylines to my name, I'm a gourmand with real-world restaurant experience, a wedding and hospitality expert, a lover of travel and fashion, and am passionate about creating inspiring, exciting, and immersive editorial content. 

A graduate of Barnard College at Columbia University, I began my career at Colin Cowie Weddings, where I jumped feet-first into the world of weddings as I wrote about everything from honeymoon destinations and registry tips to bridal fashion trends and expert interviews. In 2013, I became the Real Weddings Editor for BRIDES Magazine. There, I got to work with the best wedding professionals in the world as I curated spectacular celebrations to feature in BRIDES Magazine and on Brides.com.

In early 2015, I moved from New York City to Colorado. For four amazing seasons and at over 100 weddings and events, I worked behind-the-scenes as the content director and an event producer for Bella Design & Planning. In the fall of 2018, I shifted to freelance writing full-time, continuing to write for Brides.com, contributing to WeddingWire.com, and featured on RealSimple.com and the Huffington Post. I also branched into print publication of a different form, serving as Neil Lane’s writing partner for his book Style Your Wedding with Neil Lane.

From 2019 to 2022, I took a hiatus from writing to open and operate The Assembly Food + Wine, a casual-fine dining restaurant in Eagle, Colorado, with my husband, Caleb. The Assembly became a gathering place for our community, bringing globally-inspired cuisine to the mountains of Colorado. I oversaw all of our branding and marketing, collaborated with our culinary team on seasonally-changing menus and a diverse cocktail and wine program, managed our front-of-house staff, and welcomed guests for a casual dinner or a spectacular celebration.

I currently live in Denver with my husband, Caleb, and our daughter, enjoying family life as we eat our way through the diverse and exciting city we call home.
