I previously served as an editor at TheBody and TheBodyPro, where I covered HIV-related issues and created the Digital Health Award–winning series, “Really Honest Answers: Newly Diagnosed with HIV.” Prior to that, I was associate editor at The North Star, where I also co-hosted the podcast, “America the Voiceless.” My work has appeared in outlets including Newsweek and City Limits, and I have led editorial and newsletter strategy for several major platforms.
