About

I'm the Growth Director at Greatist, and when I'm not hanging at HQ with my best buds (aka co-workers...) you can find me training for marathons, writing, or searching for the perfect bloody mary. I have an odd obsession with mountains, and am passionate about helping others become happier and healthier.
