She moved to California and adopted its car culture with the help of a Miata roadster, writing and editing for several manufacturers' publications, including Acura Style, Mazda Zoom-Zoom, and Hyundai Smart Driver. Her features and stories have covered auto maintenance and technology, car shopping and selling, road tripping, and food.
