Zach is a national writer at Spoon University, where he covers food news, trends, and budget-friendly hacks for cooking on a college income. His writing focuses on making good food accessible, whether that means breaking down the latest food trend, reviewing a viral product, or finding the cheapest way to eat well in a college town.
Beyond Spoon, Zach has experience as a legal secretary intern and banquet server, both of which sharpened his ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines. He is currently a senior at Florida State University, completing a Bachelor of Arts in Editing, Writing, and Media with a minor in Management Information Systems. He also holds an associate's degree in Marketing Management.
Growing up with Cuban and Jamaican home cooking set a high bar early, which is a big part of what makes budget food interesting to him rather than just a limitation. Outside of writing, he spends time at the gym, watches anime, and is steadily working toward Spanish fluency. He lives in Tallahassee with his dog, who has strong opinions about meal timing. After graduation, he plans to take a gap year before attending law school.
