Joelle Stephenson is a National Contributor and Editorial Intern for Spoon University. She writes articles focused on Tiktok food trends and a variety of other popular media-inspired food coverage (anything Taylor Swift-related is a must for Joelle). Outside of Spoon University, Joelle writes short fiction. In June of 2023, Joelle graduated from the University of Chicago with her Bachelor’s in English Language and Literature and her Master’s in Humanities. In her free time, Joelle knits Latvian mittens, loves dog sitting, and enjoys reading Nordic Noir mysteries that make it impossible for her to sleep at night.
