As a freelance writer for over 25 years, I have covered parenting, health and wellness (including co-authoring the book Cancer Looks Good on You), fashion, entertainment, and travel. I have interviewed supermodels, celebrities, Broadway composers, top fashion designers, iconic photographers, bestselling authors, business moguls, philanthropists, and more.

Before freelancing, I worked as launch Editor-in-Chief of Tango magazine (now yourtango.com). I also spent six years at the helm of Tear Sheet, a modeling and fashion magazine I co-founded at age 26—a venture that grew out of my post-college gig as an international unsupermodel.

In 2022, I ventured into screenwriting and wrote the award-winning short film "Lux Freer," which I produced with Golden-Globe nominee Cynthia Gibb.  Our producing partnership continued in 2023, when I wrote "Presumed Incompetent," a short film that is inspired by and stars nonspeaking autistic teen Wynston Browne. "Presumed Incompetent" premiered at the historic Chinese Theater in Hollywood and won awards on both coasts. Wynston has since landed a role in The Telepathy Tapes. In 2024 I wrote, produced, and co-directed my first comedic short, "Jazz Hands & Other Survival Skills"—think Theater Camp meets Waiting for Guffman. Also in 2024, I wrote and produced "Straight Laced," which focuses in on the intense pressure high school students face when applying to college, and the life-threatening danger of using fake prescription pills as study aids. 

I also love to discover, encourage, and develop young talent, a pastime inspired by my journey managing my actor kids (Jamie Mann – Strangers Things original Broadway cast, Country Comfort on Netflix, Days of Our Lives on Peacock; Cameron Mann – Eddington, Mare of Easttown, New Amsterdam, Daredevil, Law & Order SVU; and Natalia Mann – A California Christmas, City Lights, The Passage). I have landed young people with representation and/or coaches that have led them to roles on Broadway, TV shows, and feature films. 

When not writing or on set with my actor kids, I bring NY/Hollywood-level training to performing artists at Triple Threat Academy in Westport, CT: Triplethreat.us

I also have advised models and scouted for new faces on my site: modelingmentor.com
