Professional Experience

Experienced food writer and editor with success in launching Delish.com, MSN and Hearst's top 10 food site. I am also a freelance writer who has contributed to many publications and websites covering the wide world of food. I have managed freelance writers and bloggers, conceived and executed an original web video series, and built many a slideshow. I have had 10+ years at major media corporations including: MTV Networks, Scripps Networks, and NBC during which I worked for the Food Network twice, once as a staff member and the second time as a consultant. While I've been in editorial for the last eight years my previous work experience was on the marketing side in television. As such, I straddle that line very well and am capable of understanding the bigger picture of creating a well-produced brand that can attract readers and advertisers alike.
