About Me
I am the Deputy Editor for Digital Content at America’s Test Kitchen, where I lead weekly pitch meetings with a team of writers, manage our editorial calendar, and assign and edit stories all with one goal: providing our readers with high-quality service journalism and product reviews they can trust.
Before I moved over to the digital side, I was a cookbook editor for three years. Most recently, I was the project editor for Elle Simone Scott’s IACP award-nominated and best-selling cookbook Boards: Stylish Spreads for Casual Gatherings.
I am a breakfast enthusiast and a native upstate New Yorker who always has a bottle of Frank's RedHot within reach. When I’m not cooking, eating, or writing about food, you can find me spending as much time outside as possible or apologizing to my plants for forgetting to water them (again).
Writing
I mostly write about food, design, and weddings—all of the things that make life fun.
