Carissa Chesanek

Carissa Chesanek, a professional writer and editor is never shying away from hard or delicate topics. She knew she wanted to be a writer when she came out of the womb, pen and paper in hand. As a young girl she would prance around in her mother’s satin nightgown and heels, flipping through the glossy pages of various fashion magazines. Today she writes about everything from fashion, beauty, lifestyle and everything in between. Carissa expresses her whimsical, witty personality through her captivating and sometimes humorous articles. She has her MA in journalism, and is a member of The Authors Guild. Her articles have been seen in Redbook, Gayot.com, BettyConfidential.com and Haute Living Magazine. She is now the Miami Editor for The Rundown, a men's online lifestyle magazine that discusses anything from the latest restaurant openings, to the underground events only the locals know about. She also works on the fashion pages for the official Zumba Dance publication Z-Life Magazine, writing about the latest trends. Currently she is living in Miami Beach, where she is working on her first novel.
