PORTFOLIO

For more than a decade, I’ve been written for some of the top publications on the market and have earned a living as a food, travel, and lifestyles writer. I’ve written for local, regional, national, and even international publications and I’ve worked on the editorial staff of both regional and national magazines — and been paid to do it. I’ve been interviewed on National Public Radio, presented at Slow Food Nations, and connected with travel writers and industry experts from around the world.
I’ve traveled the world had bucket-list experiences from going backstage at the Grand Old Opry to making tortillas in a Mayan village in the jungle of Mexico. I’ve gone clamming on Cape Cod, eaten green chile in Santa Fe, noshed on dumplings at New York City’s first dim sum restaurant, harvested grapes for crush in Argentina, and ridden across Colorado ranches on horseback, even driven a racecar with a professional racecar driver.
Best of all, I’m writing, telling stories, and doing what I love.
