I write a lot of recipes—my work appears regularly in TASTE Cooking and on Lifehacker’s food vertical, Skillet—but food is far from my only focus. I’m also a versatile reporter who’s always up for a challenge, covering everything from dementia research to the difference between acne and rosacea to Canadian cannabis legalization. Here’s the work I’m most proud of in each category.
