After drawing inspiration from my adventures — both personal and professional — in Los Angeles and New York City, I made my way back to Chicago where I began my work as an entertainment writer and reporter. Over the years, I gained extensive experience in digital and breaking entertainment news, long-form writing, entertainment journalism, celebrity and sports reporting, and more.

 

My work has been featured in Us Weekly, where I spent more than two years as a staff writer on the digital news team. In my over 8 years of red carpet reporting for Us Weekly, I had the privilege of interviewing celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, Gabrielle Union, and many more. In 2021 -- just two months after welcoming my daughter -- I was lucky enough to receive an opportunity to work on the digital team at Entertainment Tonight.

 

Other outlets I've contributed to include ESPN, Elite Daily, PopSugar, Parade, and Motherly. I've also worked as a travel and lifestyle writer for Bespoke Concierge Magazine and Newport Beach Magazine.

 

While I have since stepped back from working full-time in order to focus on raising my two daughters, I have continued to work as a freelance writer and would love to use my knowledge and experience to create a platform where people can come to learn about places and products that have helped me in my journey as a mom.
