For as long as I can remember, I always knew I wanted to be a writer. As a child, I read almost a book a week, and I even wrote an essay when I was 14 that described my future career as a foreign correspondent. Though my path did change a little, there was a deep part of me that always knew I was put on this Earth to share stories.

After working in the travel industry in New York for several years, I left my cozy office job to travel the globe as a freelance writer and journalist for some of the world’s top publications, including T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic, and more.

My chosen career path has taken me to many places. I’ve witnessed how Botswana revived Africa's largest mammal migration. I’ve walked deep into the Amazon jungle with a medicine man to explore plant medicine. I’ve kayaked with Orca whales off the coast of British Columbia. And so much more.

Though journalism takes precedent in my life, I’m also a writing coach, a budding novelist, a student of Ayurveda, a poet and a photographer. I believe there’s no end to the creativity within us if we stay open to where life can take us.
