Writing

I write about food—how it’s grown and produced, how it moves, what we do with it, and what it signifies. That means I cover issues like climate change, supply chains, labor, and justice in addition to trends, ingredients, and history. I want my work on food issues—even on topics that might seem dry or complicated at first—to feel educational, exciting, and easy to understand.

I’ve also covered other topics I’m passionate about, like travel, art, accessibility, ecology, composting, fiber farming, houseplants, gardening, and plus-size fashion.

Client Work

I’ve also enjoyed working with creative studios on branded content for clients including REI, Eggland’s Best, and the National Honey Board.
