I'm a SF Bay Area-based freelance travel and history writer 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.
