Hi! I’m a writer, editor, recipe developer, and content strategist with experience in digital and print food & lifestyle media. I’m currently the associate food & drink editor on Parade’s lifestyle team (part of The Arena Group) where I cover home cooking and baking, recipes, viral food trends, groceries, and fast food news.
Previously, I was at The Kitchn where I served as the site’s first recipe production coordinator. My byline can be found on a number of outlets including—but not limited to—Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Simply Recipes, King Arthur Baking, and Food52. I've been featured on The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. I also test recipes for cookbooks. 
I’m an alumni of NYU’s Nutrition & Food Studies program. I remain based in NYC where I spend my free time running marathons, reading Sally Rooney novels, and eating spicy noodles. I’m BTS Army, I've been to the Eras Tour twice, I'm a Golden State Warriors fan, and I enjoy Greta Gerwig films and the Fast & Furious franchise equally.
