With 7+ years of experience in digital publishing, I’ve worked as both a writer and editor covering lifestyle topics with an emphasis on real estate and interior design.
Most recently, I was the senior editor of Realtor.com News & Insights where I managed a team of freelancers and produced reported short-form and trend-based articles. I also co-created and co-hosted House Party, Realtor.com’s official podcast about the intersection of homes and pop culture, which was named one of the best real estate podcasts by US News & World Report.
