Hi there! I’m a writer and editor with nearly 20 years of experience working for global media companies like People Inc., Hearst Corporation, and NBCUniversal. Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to stories about food, travel, style, and culture, and I love collaborating with other creative people to bring them to life.

You can find my work in places like Garden & Gun, USA Today, Late Checkout, and Country Living. I’m also interested in helping brands tell their stories in authentic and engaging ways.

Previously, I was deputy editor at Southern Living, where I oversaw digital and print content about food, travel, and culture, from tomato sandwiches to the politics of potlikker to small towns worth the drive. During the decade I worked at the brand, Southern Living won several awards from the International Association of Culinary Professionals and earned nominations for the James Beard Foundation Media Awards.

After living in New York City for 15 years, I now reside in beautiful Birmingham, Alabama. If I’m not thrifting or exploring the city, you’ll find me at Birdsong Farmers’ Market, where I sell Cericola Granola, my small-batch olive oil granola brand.
