Experience

Copywriting and copy editing have been central to Paige's life for eight years. As a journalism student at Southern Methodist University and Chapman University, she expanded her knowledge of the editorial world — most notably as an Online Dining Editorial Intern at D Magazine in 2018. This introduced her to the world of food reporting and writing and allowed her to sharpen her skills as a compelling journalist. Paige's subsequent experience as a Public Relations Intern for both Nékter Juice Bar and Babes Who Create gave her insight into additional aspects of publishing, advertising, and communication. An avid fan of culinary TV, Paige especially enjoys watching cooking competitions and keeps up to date with food trends in pop culture. She also shops at Trader Joe's weekly and loves trying new items in stock.

Education

Paige began her education at Southern Methodist University in 2016, where she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. She later transferred to Chapman University in an effort to earn a Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Journalism. Despite taking a pause in her education, Paige plans to return to school in the fall of 2025 to complete her degree.
