Assistant Editor, Life & Culture

My reputation is Lady With Snacks in Her Purse at All Times. I’m constantly thinking about my next meal, sometimes while eating my current meal. So it’s fitting that I became the Tampa Bay Times food editor in 2015, taking on the role of sharing culinary joy with you through recipes and food stories about our community. I'm now the Assistant Editor for our Life & Culture team, managing our food critic and arts and entertainment writers and occasionally writing about those topics, too. You can catch me soaking up the culture all over Tampa Bay. I grew up in Florida, graduating from the University of South Florida in 2010 and joining the Times that same year. I own far too many pairs of boots for someone who has never lived in a state with seasons.
