I am a Philadelphia-based non-fiction editor specializing in the culinary and education sectors. Before editing for Food & Wine I was the Lead Editor for Cambridge Center for Adult Education, and the Director of their Food & Wine Program. During my graduate studies I served as Assistant Editor for the food studies journal, Food, Culture & Society. I hold a culinary arts diploma from Auguste Escoffier, a BA in Philosophy from the University of Missouri, and an MA in Gastronomy from Boston University. My research is influenced by twentieth-century thought, specifically literary, critical, and feminist theory. I’m passionate about labor reform in hospitality and agricultural industries and hope to continue to advocate for workers’ rights throughout my career. Before working in food media I was a chocolatier, baker, food stylist, and cheesemonger.
