About Me
I’m Kristen, a writer and content strategist focused on parenting, women’s health and mental health. I’m endlessly curious and approach every project with an inclusive lens.
I’ve written for The Bump, Business Insider and mindbodygreen and have teamed up with pediatricians, OB-GYNs and mental health experts to bring clarity to topics that actually matter. My background in writing and brand strategy helps me shape content that’s research-backed, thoughtfully voiced and built to connect.
As a writer, my goal above all else is to connect with empathy. Empowering people — especially women — with accurate, compassionate information about their health and lives is the most meaningful part of what I do.
Who I Work With
I partner with:
Parenting and health publications and brands
Women’s wellness and femtech companies
Mission-driven organizations and communications teams across industries
I’ve collaborated closely with experts across pediatrics, women’s health, mental health and sustainability — and I’m open to ghostwriting opportunities that combine expert insight with accessible storytelling.
While freelance is my focus, I’m open to select in-house opportunities — especially in parenting, healthcare or mission-driven spaces where clear, empathetic content matters.
