I’ve been full time science content lead at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health. I oversaw all content related to research on addiction, the health effects of drugs, and related public health topics, editing a team of science writers and many contractors. I managed educational microsites for health professionals and for educators/students. I was promoted to that role from senior science writer.

As lead writer for Management Sciences for Health, a global health non-profit largely funded by USAID and CDC, I wrote op-eds, speeches, 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 freelancer, I’ve written often for The New York Times, NBCNews.com, Proto, Asia Times, Prevention, Business Insider Health and WebMD, among others. I’ve written news, op-eds, videos and web site content as a long-time consultant for UNICEF, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Lilly Diabetes.

For TEDMED, I founded a blog of speaker profiles and health and medicine news. I helped find speakers for the 2012 and 2014 events and edited some 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 Dotdash Meredith) and LBi.
