Professional Experience
As a hungry food and travel writer who never actually goes hungry, I have freelanced for numerous publications both in print and on the web. I've covered everything from savory cooking with fruit, dietary dating, all you want to know about kombucha, crazy teas, what to eat in Tel Aviv. Plus, I have done dozens of chef, bartender, and restaurateur interviews. When I am not writing about food, I am either scribbling about dating, art and travel, or I am working on copy editing projects, profiles, website writing, photography, and research projects.
