Hello! I'm an award-winning commerce writer, editor, and content strategist with a decade of experience in online journalism. I'm also an expert shopper and have honed that expertise as a product tester and reviews writer with USA Today's Reviewed.

I've tested the best (and worst) products across the home, style, beauty, and travel sectors. My passion lies in travel products and in sleep health and hygiene. I truly believe that good luggage and a great pair of sheets will change your entire outlook on life.

When I'm not putting products through the testing wringer, I'm enjoying another endless summer in So Cal with day trips, bike excursions, and beach days. I'm also a Yin Yoga devotee and an L.A. street dog evangelist (IYKYK).

In a previous life I was responsible for casting some of your favorite reality TV shows, and was part of the Emmy-nominated casting teams for Project Runway and Naked & Afraid. I am also the author of Go Tweet Yourself (Simon & Schuster/Adams Media) and I wrote the Americanization of The T-Shirt: A Collection of 500 Designs (Rockport Publishers).
