UC Berkeley '19

I'm an English Major at UC Berkeley and food has always been a big part of my life. I grew up in the Central Coast of California where food is literally everywhere. My dad is a chef by trade and I grew up with my mom teaching me how to cook amazing Mexican food. Food writing, as a profession, has always been the faraway dream if the world were perfect. Who knew it would find me while I was attending my dream school?!  I'm very excited to bring my years of barista training, food service, and food adventures to Spoon University.
