About Me

I cover mental health as a senior reporter for Mashable. I focus specifically on the intersection of mental health, technology, and digital culture. Some of my areas of coverage include youth and teen well-being, parenting, suicide prevention, mindfulness and meditation, and depictions of mental health in entertainment.

I attended U.C. Berkeley’s School of Journalism. I was a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Fellow for 2011 – 2012. Previous gigs include: staff reporter at NBC News Digital; special reports project director for The American Prospect; staff writer at Forbes, where I covered health and travel, but not at the same time. I also later hosted Military Medicine at Forbes.com, a blog about research and policies that affect soldiers and veterans. I am a skilled on-stage interviewer and moderator. I’ve appeared at events including Aspen Ideas: Health, New York Advertising Week, SXSW EDU, and the Social Good Summit
