In my previous lives I was an Emmy Award nominated television producer and then a Silicon Valley marketing and public relations exec. These days, I am a freelance writer focusing on food, culture, commerce, and Disney-related articles for media outlets such as Eater SF, The Bold Italic, PBS in San Francisco (KQED’s Bay Area Bites), and Micechat. Listed here are links to my most recent articles and media mentions. Feel free to reach out or follow me on Instagram: @virgoinwonderland.
