I'm a Southern-raised, Brooklyn-based food writer. Growing up around my family's Thai restaurant sparked my love of food. (Fun fact: My grandparents briefly ran a Thai grocery store in the '70s!) My curiosity on the role that food plays in building community lead me to pursue a Bachelor’s of Arts in American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a focus on the ways in which pad Thai affects the Thai American experience.

Prior to my current position as Associate Editor for Groceries at The Kitchn, I held staff positions at Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, and Allrecipes. My words and recipes have also been featured in Cook's Country, Simply Recipes, and EatingWell. Oh, and most importantly, I can’t go more than a few hours without a sweet treat.
