Throughout my career, I’ve blended hands-on culinary training with a love of storytelling. Most recently, I wore dual hats serving as an on-screen test cook for Cook’s Country programming and a food stylist for America’s Test Kitchen. Previously, I spent years developing recipes as a senior food editor for Cook’s Country Magazine and working in the books division of America’s Test Kitchen. That mix of kitchen experience and performance background has helped me break down cooking techniques in a way that feels clear, approachable, and engaging—whether I’m working in print, on television, or in digital media. Over the course of my career these roles have afforded me an opportunity to pull extensively from my AOS culinary degree from Johnson & Wales University and my BFA in acting from the California Institute of the Arts. Prior to my experience at ATK, I lived in New York for several years, where I worked at the Food Network (with Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay), and also worked in specialty food sales and catering. During this time I also cowrote and costarred in DISH, a cooking show.
