What I Do

I edit stories and brainstorm ideas for the report. I also write the “Where to Eat: New York City” newsletter.

How I Got to The Times

I started covering food as an editor in 2016 at Bon Appétit and then as a staff writer at New York magazine. But I’d been wanting to get back to editing and The Times gave me that opportunity.

Interesting Fact

I love hobbies! I’m an erstwhile member of the Brooklyn Conservatory Community Orchestra. I also know how to weave and make ceramics.
