About Me
My love for food goes back to childhood — specifically, my Southern grandmother’s famous banana pudding. As a writing major in college, I fell into the world of food writing after becoming the food critic for the student newspaper. When I graduated, I dove headfirst into cooking by attending culinary school and working as a line cook in a renowned D.C. restaurant. My first job in food media was with Time Inc.’s cookbook publisher Oxmoor House. The rest is history, and I’ve had the opportunity to develop deep experience in media through positions in writing, editing, recipe development, and SEO.
One of my proudest moments was representing the James Beard Foundation in New York City at numerous events and the chance to work alongside some of the most renowned chefs across the world. I’ll never forget meeting the legendary Jacques Pepin!
I’m most passionate about using food as an opportunity to bring people together. I love sharing my favorite recipes and meals with friends and family, whether it’s my grandmother’s chili or my favorite chocolate chip cookies.
