About Me

My career would be very different had I not grown up watching Iron Chef Japan and The Barefoot Contessa with my dad. As a college student in New York City, I jumped at the opportunity to intern at Food Network, where I ended up returning shortly after graduation. I later went to culinary school, then moved onto Delish, where I did a little bit of everything when it comes to recipes — assign, develop, test, edit, and style.

In 2021, I moved across the country and started at The Kitchn. I began by working to expand our library of classic recipes before managing the food team. Over the last year, we’ve done a ton of behind-the-scenes work to evolve our recipes. They’re not only ridiculously delicious — they’re also smart, fun, gorgeous, and as helpful as possible. I couldn’t be more proud.

Now, I help oversee the content across the whole site. I’m just as committed to helping you figure out what to cook for dinner on a night when you just can’t as I am to finding the best store-bought salad dressing or the cleaning hack that makes things 100x easier.

My Husband’s Ingenious Hack for an Empty Ketchup Bottle That We Use Every Single Day
I love watching a good TikTok hack, but it’s rare that I ever follow through in my own kitchen. Some exceptions: baked feta pasta (though now I love Kelli’s baked feta broccoli even more), feta fried eggs, and this odd, but surprisingly helpful, ketchup bottle hack my husband sent me. Essentially, you clean out a ketchup bottle and fill it with oil to use while cooking. If you’re thinking, huh or why? That was me, too.

We Asked Two Italian Moms the Secret to the Best Lasagna, and They Both Said the Same Thing
On our sister site, The Kitchn, the most popular recipe of 2024 by far was Kelli Foster’s classic lasagna. (Kelli is The Kitchn’s official Dinner Therapist and the person behind some of our most beloved recipes like Tuscan Chicken and our Best-Ever French Toast.)  I’m not usually a lasagna girl (I wasn’t even when everyone else was in 2020!). They take forever, and I’m never that impressed. Baked ziti? So much easier, just as good.
