Passion and integrity. Those two words represent what I bring to everything that I do and extend deeply to my stewardship of Women’s Health Interactive.

My passion for business, entrepreneurship and online marketing began in 1997 when I developed my first website and e-commerce startup. Since then I have started multiple companies while shepherding many others with my diverse knowledge of internet marketing.

In addition, for over 20 years, I’ve also been a certified personal trainer and health and fitness expert and embody the belief that all good things begin with careful attention to your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.

To that end, Women’s Health Interactive is a culmination of a satisfying and fulfilling journey that melds all of my biggest passions in life into one incredible site poised to become a significant and trusted source that empowers women all over the world to learn and discuss the sometimes hard-to-talk-about subjects they profoundly care about.

When I’m not diligently working on Women’s Health Interactive, you’ll find me working out, hiking, laughing my ass off, watching movies and living life to the fullest by constantly growing and doing things — and spending time with people — that make me happy.

I’m a dreamer. I dream of a world where talking about our bodies, our health, isn’t taboo. A world where sexuality is not a difficult conversation. That’s why working as a website manager & editor for Women’s Health Interactive is an opportunity I accepted in a heartbeat.

Writing has always been a passion of mine. But if you told me a few years ago that I would make this my career, that I would be working with an amazing community such as Women’s Health Interactive, I wouldn’t have believed a word.

I started working in research and academia as soon as I graduated from university and in 2015 I got my Ph.D. in computer engineering. Not long after that, I decided to explore different fields.

I have a never-ending passion for learning new things and exploring the world. I didn’t think I would end up writing and editing. But writing has always been one of my greatest passions, something I do with ease. And everywhere I went, in every job, people seemed to notice that. So I ended up calling myself a freelance writer. Turns out sometimes it is easy to make your hobby a career!

When I’m not working you’ll find me reading crime novels, painting, playing chess, or exploring some hidden gems of the world, all to a soundtrack of Queen music.

Being Editor-In-Chief of Women’s Health Interactive is an opportunity that I accepted with care and reverence for the position and all it entails — including working with our entire team of writers along with our medical review board, design team, forum team, and founder. This publication and community would not exist without each of them.

I believe in the foundation that Women’s Health Interactive was built upon: open, honest, and fearless conversations about sex. I hope that my work will help others feel less alone and answer questions they have about important topics relating to their sexual lives, health, and wellbeing.

I am a writer to my core. Words and stories are my life, but if I had to choose another career path, I would probably become a donkey farmer.

When I’m not working, I can usually be found playing in the dirt, reading a book and drinking lapsang souchong tea, or using magical weaponry to slay video game foes. I adore music of all genres but have a particular soft spot for David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd, and Rush. To have existed on earth together with them is an honor and privilege.

In the words of Rush from Dreamline: “We’re only immortal for a limited time.” Let’s make sure our brief immortality counts for something.
