I'm a freelance writer and editor with over 10 years of experience who grew up in South Portland, Maine, and lives in New Haven, Connecticut. My specialties include food and beverage, travel and sustainability, fermentation of all kinds, New England, and Germany, and I contribute to national and local publications from Food & Wine to Lonely Planet to Punch — see many more samples on Muck Rack. I’ve also edited an art book, written sales and marketing copy for businesses, profiled alumni for Montreal’s Concordia University, led tours of museums and breweries, appeared on the food travel show Scraps, moderated a Food Tank Summit panel on food policy, and served on the board for the conference Travel and Words, where I spoke on editors' panels and taught a food-writing workshop.
On staff, I’ve worked as a senior editor of custom publications at SagaCity Media’s Seattle office — managing dozens of freelance writers and producing Visit Seattle’s Official Visitors’ Guide, Professional Travel Planners’ Guide, and other branded content for high-profile clients — and as editor of the daily news websites Eater Maine and Eater Seattle, covering food news, dining guides, and gift guides.
Ich kann auch gut Deutsch. Ich studierte ein Semester bei Uni Freiburg, lehrte mit einem Fulbright-Stipendium als Fremdsprachenassistent beim Gutenberg Gymnasium in Mainz, und arbeitete im Online-Bereich beim Verlag Elsevier GmbH in München. Ich besuche noch öfters Deutschland und schreibe gern drüber.
