Previously, she was part of the first-ever social media team for Southwest Airlines, did public relations for award-winning chefs and restaurants, was the managing editor for Tales of the Cocktail, and was awarded the Nathalie Dupree fellowship at the Southern Foodways Alliance, an institution based at the University of Mississippi, where her research centered on journalism and the media portrayal of the American South. Her work has appeared in Garden & Gun, CNN Eatocracy, Treehugger, The Daily Mississippian, Good Grit, and Oxford magazine.
