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.

“Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”

These were the words of the late Kobe Bryant, and there is nothing else I follow more wholeheartedly to this day.

As a member of Gen-Z, we are often not seen as hardworking individuals and are labeled carefree.

In the past four years, I have worked in various roles, primarily stints in writing, virtual assistance, project management, and marketing. Despite all that, I know I still have to learn quite a lot to stay at pace with the rest of the ever-changing world.

Not only has being a part of Women’s Health Interactive opened up that door for me, but it has also allowed me to truly stand for the values we promote on our site: To have unfiltered conversations regarding hard-to-talk-about issues that affect women around the globe and to deal with those in the most fun, humorous and honest way possible.

When I’m not working, I usually find pleasure in traveling the world, playing soccer, and spending time with the people I love the most.

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.
