As a freelance magazine journalist, I've written for multiple national magazines, writing features, gear reviews, athlete profiles, personal essays, training pieces, travel stories, how-to’s and more—all written with a conversational voice and with the goal of inspiring.

My work has been seen in:

Backpacker, Climbing, Competitor, Cosmo, Details, Elevation Outdoors, Fitness, Inside Triathlon, Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Men's Journal, Mental Floss, Mountain, National Geographic Adventure, Outside, Outside Buyer’s Guide, Outdoor Retailer Magazine, Real Woman, Red Bulletin, Runner's World, Shape, Skiing, Trail Runner, Triathlete, The Voice, and more. 

I've been a contributing editor to Runner’s World and Yoga Journal, a special projects editor to Runner's World and Backpacker, and a special projects editor to PodiumRunner and Women's Running. I was the co-founding and managing editor of Adventure Sports magazine (2002-2005), and an editor at Trail Runner magazine (2002).  

For Runner's World, I was the Baby Steps blogger (2007-2011), the Shoes & Gear blogger (2011-2012), and the Trailhead blogger and trail running microsite editor (2012-2015). I managed the family content for Backpacker (2018-2019), trail running content for Women's Running and PodiumRunner (2020-2021), and am currently writing a twice-monthly gear column for Outside. I also co-manage and write the road and trail running shoe reviews for Outside Magazine and the Outside Buyer's Guide, and freelance for multiple national publications while also writing for nonprofits.
