I'm the author of three novels (In a New York Minute, One Last Summer, All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball) and the memoir The Dead Moms Club. I co-created, hosted, and produced the beloved podcast Forever35, which garnered two iHeart Radio Podcast Awards during my time on the show.

My professional background includes freelance writing for numerous publications, hosting, reporting, and interviewing celebrities for VH1, and teaching and performing improv comedy with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Over the years I’ve also been an editor in chief of a parenting website, production assistant working alongside Oprah Winfrey, documentary film intern, restaurant hostess, and receptionist. I’ve worked approximately one billion retail sales jobs, including at a gourmet dog biscuit bakery called Bone Appetit, which sadly, no longer exists. 

As you may be able to gather from this varied list of pursuits, I am proudly neurodivergent, and my writing also touches upon such topics as ADHD, mental health (anxiety and OCD specifically), grief, parenting, and pop culture. I've had work featured everywhere from Cosmopolitan to the Washington Post, and in numerous anthologies and essay collections. 

Humor, heart, and honesty are the connective tissue of everything I do. (Yes, even selling overpriced dog biscuits. Trust me, you had to laugh to do that job.) 

When I'm not traveling around the country seeing my favorite band, Phish, or preaching about the greatness of Costco, you can find me driving my kids to school with an open coffee cup in hand. (No travel mugs for me, I live for chaos and preventable spills!) I'm also a devoted pickleball player, yoga student, journal-er, and lover of the outdoors.

A native New Englander, I currently live in Los Angeles with my family and our two dogs.
