I always dreamed of being a writer.

My first-ever byline was at age 11 in Highlights for Kids — a poem about dragons. Alas, that particular literary masterpiece is lost to the ages.

Today I work full time as a copywriter for Marie Forleo. In my free time, I keep writing #cantstopwontstop.

I’ve written about how my husband and I manage our money (hint: what’s mine is not his) and my struggles with being an expat.

Sometimes the stories are funny. Sometimes I’m trying not to get tears on my keyboard as I write. My work has been published in Cup of Jo, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Good Housekeeping, and more.
