About me

Gender Female
Industry Communications or Media
Occupation Journalist
Location Newport, KY, United States
Introduction I am a reporter by profession and a food historian by passion. I earned my master's degree in history (American history major, women's history minor) and my research focuses on the social history and psychology of food and food-related disorders. Otherwise, I'm just your average tree-hugging, vegetarian, Buddhist hippie with a weakness for stray cats and a British accent.
