While going to school for Film Studies at Barnard College at Columbia University, she worked her way through school bartending and working in film production. As her career in the film industry took off, while working as the manager of programming operations at the Tribeca Film Festival, she continued creating cocktails and developing recipes on her food blog. After a career switch to cookbook publishing at Regan Books, an imprint of Phaidon, and working at a creative agency, The Sunshine Company, she began an immersive dinner series which was written up in multiple publications including Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Gothamist, Refinery 29, and Time Out New York.

One such immersive dinner for Atlas Obscura at a castle in San Francisco led her to learning about the world of professional food & drink styling and she found her niche, her dream job. She worked her way up as an assistant and then worked in-house as the food & prop stylist at HelloFresh for 2.5 years followed by an in-house position as the food stylist at Daily Harvest for 1.5 years. Her experience both in house and freelance has given her thousands of hours of on-set experience and she always knows what to pull out of her bag of tricks to ensure the client is thrilled with the work.
