Hi! I’m an award-winning health and science journalist living in Brooklyn.

I’m a reporter, editor and podcaster at Bloomberg News, where I have covered the rise of DIY gene-editing, the push to make magic mushrooms mainstream, a global pandemic and the quest to stop menopause, among other things. My 2021 podcast series on the rise of vaccine hesitancy in America, Doubt, won a silver Signal Award and was nominated for a Webby.

Before Bloomberg, I worked at Gizmodo, Fusion (RIP), the San Francisco Chronicle, the Albany Times Union and The Caravan (in New Delhi). I’ve got an MA in Arts and Culture Journalism from Columbia University and a BA from NYU in Journalism and Middle Eastern Studies.

I’m originally from a little place in California known as The OC, but think New York is the best city in the world. I share my teeny apartment with my husband, our two cats Avalanche and Lewie and a bunch of fish.
