Fine Cooking / Food & Wine 

As an editor at Fine Cooking magazine, I covered seasonal ingredients, spotlighted fun shopping finds, and developed sweet and savory recipes. Forever known as "a good eater," I entered the professional food world as an intern at Food & Wine magazine and later received a culinary diploma from New York's Institute of Culinary Education.
