I’m currently a full-time 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 web 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 dozens of website launches: Forbes.com (the initial launch), Ziff Davis, Time Inc. Interactive (which evolved into People Inc.) and LBi.
