Noteworthy content collaborations include conducting research for Marion Nestle’s “Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (And Winning)” and developing nutrition content and editing for “Selfienomics: A Seriously Funny Guide to Living The Good Life.”
Not only is there a lot of noise in the nutrition and wellness space, but for many, there are also financial barriers that stand in the way of optimal well-being. As a health editor at GoodRx, one of my goals is to share clear, unbiased, and actionable information to make healthy eating and living more accessible to people.
