Welcome to my page.

A bit about me: I'm a graduate of the Reynolds School of Journalism have a minor in Italian Studies. I am proud to be part of the team that helped design and report for this site.

During my time at the University of Nevada, Reno, I wrote weekly restaurant reviews and occasional columns for The Nevada Sagebrush and was freelance writer with work published online, in the Reno News and Review and The Reno Gazette-Journal. I also worked as a copy editor at the Reno-Gazette Journal.

I finished my undergraduate work in December, and now live in Italy where I am a student at the ALMA culinary school.

I hope to combine the breadth of knowledge I acquired at the RSJ and the amazing things I am learning about culinary arts and start a career in food writing.

I'm currently reading.. Kill Your Friends by John Niven.
I recently watched... Piloti! Italian TV is hilarious.
I secretly wish... that chef pants weren't so ugly.
