Empowering Chicago Women - Chicago Magazine (2026)

I led the editorial concept for a special feature on women’s heart health in Chicago Magazine for the American Heart Association, Chicago. Developing the full strategy for this 12-page feature included sourcing, reporting, and writing survivor stories, directing photo shoots, gathering images, and leading final edits. The editorial spread, featured in Chicago Magazine’s February 2026 issue reached 400K+ print/online readers and included:

  • Stories from survivors aged 13-70+ with conditions ranging from stroke to cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

  • Stunning visuals of the American Heart Association’s Metro Chicago board members.

  • Expert commentary from leading physicians about how women can protect their hearts at every age and stage of life.
