I'm personally someone who's prone to obsessively Googling every little health symptom that comes up in my life. What I find most reassuring is when I come across articles that share health info that's simple and accurate ... I strive to write content that's strictly evidence-based, but that reads like a good friend giving you the low-down on what might be going on in your body.

Education

Wendy has a Bachelor of Arts in English and a MFA in Creative Writing from Hunter College at City University of New York (CUNY).
