I'm a freelance journalist and writer, which is exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. I live in New York City and Chicago. Most of my work is done out of coffee shops with free wifi. My stories have been published in the Wall Street Journal, iVillage, More magazine, The Knot, BusinessWeek and the Financial Times. I write about consumer trends, business education, careers and do occasional reporting for Us Weekly. I'm an international news junkie, travel extensively and love gadgets. Despite lots of practice, I'm still terrible at yoga.
I'm also a creator of 'Russian Dolls' (working title Brighton Beach), a reality TV series about Russian immigrants living in Brooklyn. I was born in the former Soviet Union, but drink far less vodka than you'd expect.
