My first 24 hours as a freelancer

I can't even begin to describe how liberating it feels to write again. I was trying to explain how I feel to an editor friend and I think I said: "Writing sentences literally gives me life." For six months I wasn't able to write. Here's what I've been lucky enough to do in the first 24 hours of freelance life. Needless to say, I'm pretty pleased with how things are going so far.

Elle — Style profile on Christina Caradona

Marie Claire — All the stone accessories your heart desires

Food & Wine — Matthew McConaughey takes the reins at Wild Turkey

Food & Wine — The new GMO labeling controversy

Food & Wine — The at-home 3D food printer that could change your life

Food & Wine — Ikea takes on food Instagrammers (good luck meatballs)

Conde Nast Traveler — The CDC issues a travel warning for Miami

Conde Nast Traveler — Horses on planes

Conde Nast Traveler — Australia's on the move. Literally.

Hi there!

Currently I'm the Chief Content Officer at Tatler in Asia, based in Hong Kong and working across eight markets in the region, including mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Previously, I was, in New York, the Digital Director at Food & Wine, the Digital Director at WWD, the Digital Editor at Large at Glamour, the Executive Editor at Epicurious, the Founding National Editor of Racked, and, way back in the day, a Plus-Size Model signed to Wilhelmina. I'm the author of 'How Not to Look Fat,' which was published by HarperCollins, and a Dartmouth, Oxford, and Central Saint Martins alum.
