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 Travel+Leisure, Glamour, Allure, SELF, Peloton’s The Output, Elle, and Refinery29, among others.
I've also tackled freelance editing projects for publications such as SELF and The WELL. 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 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.
Print Work
I have experience writing print features, front of book items, trend pieces, personal stories, and sidebars. I’ve also helped oversee numerous product & lifestyle photo shoots.
