Experience

Brie spent her childhood studying magazines from cover to cover (including during math class, much to her teacher's dismay), which opened her eyes to the world of lifestyle journalism. As an adult, she moved to Japan to become an English teacher, where she explored the neighborhoods of Tokyo between grammar lessons. Brie eventually pivoted to writing, contributing to Business Insider, Apartment Therapy, YourTango, and several other websites. She now serves as an editor at PlanetWare.

Education

Brie received her B.A. from The Ohio State University, where she double-majored in sociology and sexuality studies.
