About Me

By day, I work to create impactful, educational content for UNICEF as the Digital Content Writer for UNICEF Parenting. I have years of experience writing, editing, and producing both print and digital content in the health and wellness space. I’ve developed a sharp eye, a well-trained ear, and a deep-rooted passion for storytelling. In my spare time, you can find me curled up with a nice cup of tea getting lost in the pages of a good book.
