I am an advertising major with an emphasis in digital at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. I love to write about anything that is on the top of my head. Other than food and lifestyle blogging, I love to tweet (@KateFlorin1) and to read drama/mystery novels. I live by the motto "Carpe Diem" and you can never see me not thinking about spicy tuna rolls, a poke bowl or a margarita pizza.
