I'm an award-winning SF Bay Area-based writer and editor fascinated by the geography, ecology and cultures of our world.

As a Ph.D. in Anthropology, I've been trained to observe and tell unique stories. I'm especially interested in revealing perspectives on the past that fall outside of mainstream history books and the local, national and global food traditions that inform community identities. I also frequently write about the natural world, the changing climate, and other science-based topics.

My work appears regularly at PopSci (Popular Science Magazine), Smithsonian Magazine, Discover Magazine, Atlas Obscura, Bon Appetit, Yes! Magazine, Fodor’s and a variety of other publications. I am also the executive editor at the San Francisco lifestyle magazine, 7x7.
