Writer. Editor. Storyteller.

Hi, I’m Kristine! I have over a decade of experience creating content for print and digital publications, where I specialize in health, fitness, food, and travel. Most recently, I was the Health & Fitness Director at mindbodygreen, where I oversaw the Health, Food, and Movement verticals. Before that, I was the Fitness and Wellness Editor at Women’s Health, where I edited and helped manage the Food and Fitness verticals in digital and print. In the past, I have held editorial positions at Health, HGTV, Men’s Health, and Fitness.
As a freelance journalist, my work has appeared in Vogue, Travel+Leisure, Glamour, Popsugar, Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Allure, SELF, Peloton’s The Output, and Refinery29, among others.
I've tackled contract editing projects for publications such as Travel + Leisure, Glamour, SELF, and The WELL. I’m also available for parental leave fill-ins, and recently served as the Interim Lifestyle Director at Women’s Health. What's more, I've worked on copywriting, media and brand strategy consulting, internal/external communications, branded content, and more.
I have a bachelor’s degree from New York University where I studied Journalism, Psychology, and Creative Writing. I’m also certified in personal training by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
My latest work.
Editorial Expertise
Health & Wellness
After choosing psychology as my second major in college, I discovered a love for staying on top of the latest health research and info. In my career, I’ve covered a wide scope of topics in the health space: mental health, women’s health, sexual health, relationships, metabolic health, longevity, and more.
Travel
I’ve been enamored with travel for as long as I can remember. As a natural storyteller, there are few things that make me feel more excited than exploring a new place and culture. Most recently, I’ve been fortunate enough to share some of my travel experience with Travel + Leisure, Popsugar, and contribute to the Women’s Health Travel Awards. With my background in health journalism, I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of wellness and travel.
Fitness
As an editor and NASM-certified personal trainer, I’ve: spearheaded large-scale fitness projects; partnered with experienced instructors to create workouts and fitness challenges; reported on the latest exercise science and tips; plus tested (and recommended) countless pieces of activewear and gear.
Lifestyle
I’ve also had the opportunity to cover a wide range of different lifestyle topics, such as home & decor, beauty, food, along with celebrity news and profiles. I also have experience with market work and stories, gift guides, product roundups, and branded content.
Digital Work
My digital experience includes: producing various video series, spearheading franchises & initiatives, creating gift guides, optimizing for SEO, covering news, leading cross-platform projects, and more.
