Her work has been published in outlets including Health, Women's Health, Men's Health, the Washington Post, Parents, USA Today, SELF Magazine, and HuffPost, among others. She also writes for nonprofit organizations like The Jed Foundation, which is dedicated to preventing suicide and protecting mental health in teens and young adults.
