Writing Samples
Check out a small sampling of my past work below. Want more samples? I’ve got hundreds. Shoot me an email and I’ll send you a curated list of links.
TOPICS
Not to toot my own horn but, my decade-long professional writing experience has made me a well-rounded writer. I’ve interviewed hundreds of experts and covered a wide range of cool and interesting topics. Here’s a snapshot of some of them:
Celebrity profiles (Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Lopez, Drew Barrymore—NBD)
Dining and nightlife (what to eat at the hottest restaurants)
Real estate (Need home buying tips? I’m full of them.)
Nutrition (healthy recipes, ingredient benefits)
Mental health (positive self-talk, journaling, therapy)
Relationships (spicing things up, love languages)
Career advice (such as what to do if you get ghosted)
Fitness (resistance band workouts, anyone?)
Spirituality (auras! crystals! reiki! tarot!)
Personal growth (self-love, self-care, soul-searching)
Wellness (astrology, meditation, breathwork)
Travel (like the best SoCal getaways ever)
Home decor (How to Feng Shui your home, for example)
Weddings (planning tips, swoon-worthy recommendations)
Fashion (Designer interviews and tips, style and shopping guides)
Beauty and skincare (acne tips galore)
Basically, throw any topic or idea at me and I’ll hit it out of the park. 😉
