New York City

I help food companies land coverage in key media from B2B to The New York Times. As a former business reporter and communications director, I enjoy connecting clients with my deep bench of press contacts, industry influencers and potential retail and foodservice customers. Sweet spot: helping international specialty food companies navigate the U.S. market. Always a journalist, I have a nose for news and know how to make press pay attention. When possible, I still wield my pen to write for AARP online and elsewhere.
