I’m a baby and kids gear writer at Forbes Vetted, reviewing and testing products and covering parenting content. I’ve tested over 50 strollers, countless toys and many other baby and kids products. Before I was a writer, I spent six years as a high school English teacher, and I’ve studied child development and product design. I’m the proud mom to a daughter as well as twin sons (and a fur baby). I have a bachelor of science in education from Penn State and a master of arts in education from Michigan State. I hold a certificate in online teaching and learning, and I have extra training in literacy and communications education. My writing has been featured by AARP, Scholastic, Cubby, Business Insider, Yahoo, Motherly, MSN, AAA and more.
