She was an editor at Forbes Vetted, PCWorld, and PCMag, and a freelance writer for countless publications — among them Tom's Guide, Tech Radar, The Hollywood Reporter, SCIFI Magazine and now Static Media.

As a frequent traveler, she has a particular penchant for all manner of mobile gear and digital photography, with expertise across a wide range of consumer tech and home entertainment categories. When not diving into the latest gear, she also works as a freelance book editor, storyteller and sports photographer.
