about me

hi! i’m jenna, a lifestyle & culture editor, writer, and project manager living in new york city.

for the past five+ years, i've been writing stories on how we live and love, most recently as a staff writer at condé nast's SELF, and for national print & digital publications including the washington post, playboy, popsugar, and more.

i’ve covered a lot of ground - i started as a wellness writer who helped launch USA TODAY’s wellness vertical from the ground up in 2021. there, i worked closely with editorial leadership to think about content strategy, not just content. i’m also a really fast writer (thanks to my start in breaking news), which means i’ve got an eye for spotting trends early and am always prepped with a next-day hot take. along the way, i’ve learned to tell stories through new formats, whether i’m building a new vertical or newsletter or project-managing a recurring franchise (see them here).

on weekends, i'm running, throwing pottery, acrylic painting, playing chess, or rewatching studio ghibli movies. i'll also give you the best café recs in nyc ;)
