Experience

Before working as a culinary journalist, she honed her skills working press relations for NGOs, promoting labor rights, human rights, and rights to the city. Her first foray into the culinary world was as a freelance writer, working to test and compile gluten-free recipes for a cookbook. The experience hooked her. She joined Static Media in 2020. When she's not interviewing celebrity chefs for Mashed and Tasting Table, she does international content strategy work for the company's Spanish and German YouTube and Snapchat channels.
