Meet Fi

Writer, Editor, Consultant.

Hi! I’m Fi (they/them), an award-winning independent journalist, editor, and consultant covering health, science, tech, climate, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. I have experience in digital media, content marketing, thought-leadership, and science communication. My writing has been published in The Nation, The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wired, Vox, The Guardian, Business Insider, the Columbia Journalism Review, and more. My book, THE LONG COVID SURVIVAL GUIDE, was a 2022 Foreword INDIES Gold Winner in Health.

I am currently an Editor at NOCD, a mental health company, and was previously the Editorial Director at Bell & Ivy, a personal and team branding agency. I’ve provided editorial and communications consulting services to clients in the technology, health, education, legal, media and nonprofit sectors. I am also an editor at REI, where I work on stories about the science of running, sustainability, and the outdoors. I have served as a subject matter expert on patient experiences and peer communities for the CDC, WHO and POTUS Covid-19 Equity Task Force, and have produced a series of work meant to help journalists navigate trauma-informed reporting on novel and chronic illnesses.

I am also a community-builder. In 2018, I started the NYC-based queer feminist wellness collective and events series, Body Politic, which became a grassroots patient-led health justice organization. In 2020, I co-founded the Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group on Slack which served over 15K people across the globe until 2023, and has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Women’s Health, among many other outlets. Since then I’ve helped launch non-profit organizations, communities for media entrepreneurs, digital health newsletters, and symptom tracking apps. I co-created and currently volunteer with two health equity-focused community projects: The Wayside and The Long COVID Source List.

I am based in Los Angeles, California, but was born and raised in New York City.
