At PureWow, I primarily cover beauty, which entails testing products over a long period of time and doing vigorous research on skincare, haircare, makeup and more. I reach out to a host of experts (i.e., dermatologists, hairstylists) and coordinate with PW editors for recommendations. When I'm not covering beauty, I'm writing for wellness, entertainment, fashion and travel about trends, how-tos and more. I also spearhead PureWow Cultures, which focuses on uplifting and highlighting the BIPOC community.
