With a passion for food and cooking, I create and edit memorable, engaging content that attracts and retains diverse audiences across print, digital, and video platforms. My extensive experience in publishing and media has led to exciting opportunities at globally renowned brands including Penguin Random House, Hearst Magazines, WW, and Condé Nast. My keen attention to detail and ability to juggle multiple projects, schedules, and deadlines is how I thrive in innovative, fast-paced environments.I am enthusiastic about cultivating teams that prize collaboration and creativity. I step naturally into mentorship roles where I can share the valuable industry knowledge I’ve obtained with others as they build their careers. I also love coordinating teams of designers, stylists, and photographers to develop beautiful, best-selling cookbooks and dynamic content packages.I am the author of Your Starter Kitchen (Simon & Schuster 2020), a go-to guide for first-time cooks and culinary enthusiasts that shows how to turn every kitchen into the heart of the home. I also have a soft spot for all things Italian after spending time in Siena as an undergraduate, and later in Rome as a graduate student.For my next opportunity, I hope to use my extensive editorial and creative experience to lead content creation for a mission-driven company.
