I am the senior pets editor for Business Insider’s Reviews team, overseeing all aspects of our coverage for dogs, cats, and small animals. I work alongside reporters and veterinary medical reviewers to ensure our recommendations are safe, effective, and provide the best value. My areas of expertiseMy primary expertise is in pet products and animal care. I lead coverage across key pet categories, ensuring readers receive trustworthy, evidence-based recommendations for everything from pet food and parasite preventives to accessories and toys.Over the last 14 years, I’ve adopted two untrained rescue dogs and cared for them through their senior years, deepening my interest in rewards-based training and pet health. I’ve personally tested many of the dog beds, harnesses, and toys we recommend. My experienceI have two decades of editorial experience, and six of those have been dedicated to service journalism. I joined Business Insider Reviews in 2020 as the pets and parenting editor. I later served as the senior home editor. In 2023, I shifted my focus entirely to pets.I began my journalism career at The Wall Street Journal and later edited parenting and lifestyle content at Scary Mommy. I also worked as a freelance developmental editor for Callisto, editing dog-training books for young readers. Why you can trust meMy goal is to ensure that every buying guide meets high standards for animal welfare and provides pet guardians with clear, practical guidance. When recommending pet products or shopping for my own dogs, I prioritize an animal’s mental and physical well-being. And because there are no one-size-fits-all products, I focus on helping readers find safe, effective products tailored to their pet’s specific needs. My educationI graduated from New York University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism.Outside of workI live in New York’s Hudson Valley. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and landscaping with native plants.Say hi at [email protected] and find me on LinkedIn.
