about me

KW-about-me

I’m kind of tempted to steal this placeholder bio that WordPress suggested: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

Unfortunately none of that is true, except the part about piña coladas (though I prefer whiskey and ginger beer).

Here’s a more accurate bio:

I’m a full-time freelance writer and photographer based in the woods in Southern New Jersey. (Like Walden, but with a drive-thru Starbucks.) I produce features, web content, and marketing copy on a wide range of topics, though my favorites are health, personal finance, and entertainment. If you want to have a lengthy discussion about macronutrients, FICO scores, or Steve Harrington’s character arc on Stranger Things, I’m all in.

You can find my work in Seventeen, Prevention, the Beachbody blog, Runner’s World, Good Housekeeping, Women’s Health, and more — but it’s a lot easier to just click here and see some of my most recent pieces.

Other than that, I enjoy beach naps, burritos, yoga, going to concerts, watching Disney movies with my kids, watching Disney movies without my kids, and running half marathons reeeeeeaaaaally slowly. I dislike sleep.
