Award-Winning Journalist & Editor

Stories told with clarity, depth & heart.

With bylines in People, The Detroit News, Detroit Metro Times, LA Downtown News, and more — and a current role as Lifestyle Editor at AZ Big Media — I've spent my career finding the human truth inside every story.

About Me

More than a reporter —
a storyteller.

I'm an award-winning journalist and editor with extensive writing and management experience spanning lifestyle, culture, music, entertainment, and human interest. Currently, I serve as Lifestyle Editor at AZ Big Media, where I oversee editorial direction and produce stories that connect with readers on a personal level.

My career has taken me from the newsroom at The Daily Tribune in Royal Oak to the pages of People magazine, with stops at LA Downtown News, and many other publications along the way. I bring the same curiosity and precision to every assignment, whether it's a 500-word feature or a long-form investigative piece.

Off the clock, I've watched 8 Mile more times than I'll publicly admit, consider Ted Lasso required viewing, and once survived a Rob Zombie haunted house — which honestly counts as professional development.
