How the journey began…

Food Writer. Food Historian. Food Anthropologist. Food Cosmetologist. Food Consultant. Gastronome… a few years ago I would never have even imagined that these are real career paths!

I've always known that I wanted a career in food, but wasn't sure exactly what. Turns out, these days you can combine multiple (seemingly unrelated) passions and turn them into a career!

Obviously, this discovery was very exciting to a young person like me just finishing high school! But it was also a little overwhelming. So many options and so little time to choose…

I decided that I didn't want to rush into college without finding out what these exciting new career options in the food world were really about. So I decided to take a year off from "formal education" and do some internships, really get my hands dirty, because that's the only way I'd know what I was getting into.

So here I am, 3 months into the journey.

Through this blog I want to try and record my journey and learnings, and share them with people who may benefit from them or may simply find them a fun read. So I hope you enjoy!
