About Me

For the past 5+ years, I've worked in communications and managed companies' social media accounts. Before joining The Kitchn, I served as the Culinary Editorial Fellow for Food Network. My work has been published in Food Network, Whetstone Magazine, and NYU’s Bite Magazine.

While working in the nonprofit world, I decided to further my education at New York University where I earned my MA in Food Studies. My aim is to highlight diverse voices in the food world through my storytelling. I am also passionate about ensuring that all people have access to food and have worked for the nonprofits Just Food and West Side Campaign Against Hunger advocating for food justice and food security.

In my free time, I love trying new plant-based foods, listening to music or podcasts, going to concerts, and being in nature. I’ve also loved baking since I was a kid and find it very therapeutic, so I will jump on any chance I get to whip up a sweet treat.

5 Beautiful Ways to Package Cookies for Gifting
Making cookies and treats for the holidays has always been the easy part for me. I can organize a shopping list, prep, freeze, and bake with great speed and efficiency and generally enjoy the whole process. The packaging of it? Not so much for this creatively-challenged baker. I want all my hard work to shine, and for my cookie gifts to look and feel special, but I just don’t have the patience or talent to do anything complicated. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be.
