I’m currently a contract editor with AARP’s Staying Sharp brain health program.

I was previously the public and professional content lead at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the NIH, where I oversaw all content related to research on addiction, the health effects of drugs, and related public health topics.

As lead writer for Management Sciences for Health, a global health non-profit largely funded by USAID, I wrote op-eds, press releases, news articles, factsheets and reports. I was also a staff writer and editor at Monitor on Psychology, the American Psychological Association’s flagship magazine, and features editor at ABCNEWS.com.

As a freelance journalist, I’ve written often for The New York Times, NBCNews.com, Proto, Asia Times, Prevention, Business Insider Health and WebMD, among others.

For TEDMED, I founded a blog of speaker profiles and health and medicine news. I helped find speakers and edited speeches.

I’ve also developed and managed editorial for web site launches at Forbes (including the initial launch of Forbes.com), Ziff Davis, Time Inc. Interactive (which evolved into People Inc.) and LBi.
