Meet Fi

Writer, Editor, Consultant.

Hi! I’m Fi (they/them), an award-winning independent journalist, editor, and writer covering health, science, tech, climate, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. I’m the Senior Manager of Content Marketing at NOCD—the leading treatment provider for people living with OCD. I’m also an editor at REI, the editor of THE LONG COVID SURVIVAL GUIDE, and the host and writer of the safety pin newsletter and podcast. 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.

I have experience in digital media, content marketing, thought-leadership, and science communication, and have provided editorial and communications consulting to clients in the technology, health, education, legal, media and nonprofit sectors. I have served as a subject matter expert on peer-to-peer health and Long COVID for the CDC, WHO and POTUS Covid-19 Equity Task Force, and have produced a series of work meant to help journalists navigate reporting on novel and chronic illnesses.

Finally, I am a community-builder and organizer. In 2018, I started the NYC-based queer feminist wellness collective and events series, Body Politic, which launched the Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group in 2020, and served over 15K people across the globe until 2023. Body Politic’s work 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, symptom tracking apps, and local groups for disabled and chronically ill people.

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