As a writer and professional in the media, I have worked in print, digital, and broadcasting media for more than two decades.

A graduate of the French culinary school La Varenne, I earned a grande diplôme in cuisine and pastry and worked for a few years in the hospitality industry.

What was your first job as a journalist?

In Los Angeles at a free weekly newspaper.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I learned to type on a typewriter in high school. I'm grateful for that summer class so I don't have to "hunt and pick" the keyboard.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

It's a great responsibility. In an era of social media influencers, journalists are the original influencers.
