Brainstormer, Foodie, Startup, Writer/Editor

I'm the director of content for Birchbox, a new beauty start-up that reinvents the monthly subscription model and bridges editorial and e-commerce. Before Birchbox, I was an editor at Conde Nast Traveler and a freelance writer. Over the years I've written about food and wellness for Traveler, Bon Appetit, and other outlets. Last year, I conceived of a slow travel/fast tech bike touring project called Bikes & Biscuits with a travel writer friend; we secured funding and went on a two-week trip across Virginia, blogging and flip-cam-ing all the way. I'm interested in the intersection of new technology and media (old and new), and creative ways of creating content — at Birchbox, and in everything I do.
