WORK HISTORY
Health Reporter @Medical News Today
I am overjoyed to have returned today to reporting major breaking health news with publication of my first story for Medical News Today, part of Healthline Media, with a greater reach than any publication for which I have ever worked, attracting 70 MILLION unique users a month. And at a time in our industry when increasingly, a good editor is hard to find, I feel so blessed to work for an extraordinarily talented news editor at a publication that still actually has copy editors who copy edit and fact-checkers who scrupulously verify absolutely everything to ensure accuracy and thoroughness, again, something increasingly rare in our industry. It\'s good to be back
