Biography

I’m a writer based in Denver, Colorado. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, EATEN: The Food History Magazine, DCist, Midwest Living, and more. I also edit and test recipes, edit text, and collaborate on cookbooks. I focus mostly on food, history, and cooking. Getting to the root of a wandering ingredient and using food to tell someone’s story are my favorite things. Before freelancing full-time, I worked in the Food section at The Washington Post for four years and worked with cookbook author Joan Nathan for a few years before that. I’ve also sold spices, poured wine, peddled fruit and — ever so briefly — worked for a lobbyist. I grew up on a farm in Washington state, went to high school in Germany, and studied Russian in Pennsylvania (which included a year-long stay in Moscow).
