Welcome!

I am a journalist and fiction writer. Basically, a person who is obsessed with human stories. For 10 years, I worked as a freelance journalist, covering women’s health with a focus on pregnancy and childbirth. My work appeared in VICE, ELLE, Rewire News, Good Housekeeping, and Hadassah Magazine among other publications.

My 2018 article for Broadly: “There Is a Hidden Epidemic of Doctors Abusing Women in Labor,” reached hundreds of thousands of readers and sparked a social media conversation around obstetric violence.

In 2020, I received a Rockower Award from the American Jewish Press Association for my coverage of the #MeToo movement for Hadassah Magazine.

Currently, I am the Medical Lifestyle editor at WebMD’s Medscape where I publish stories that impact healthcare professionals outside the clinical realm – the human side of a life in medicine.

In 2025, I received an Azbee Award for my personal narrative series, “Is There a Doctor in the House?”

I hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College and an M.A. in African Literature from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

Although originally from New York City, I now live in beautiful/sunny/smoky/traffic-ridden Los Angeles.
