  • Digital Director, Editorial + Culinary at Food Network

    • Dec 2018 - Present

    I lead editorial content strategy and execution across Food Network's digital platforms, and am heavily involved in the FN's digital content marketing and brand partnerships arm as well. My team of ten works on all areas of the brand on digital, including editorial daily publishing (on both FoodNetwork.com and off-platform), site and newsletter promotion strategy, syndication strategy (i.e. Apple News), SEO strategy and execution, photo and video production, UX writing and programming, e-commerce and affiliate content, content marketing, digital marketing, partnerships, and direct-to-consumer (namely, the Food Network Kitchen app). I like to call us "the hub of the wheel," as we work with many adjacent teams to execute on goals and unite the larger brand context for all of our work.With our test kitchen and culinary production teams (as well as a network of social creators and freelancers, who my team and I commission) we create and promote media that makes the world excited to cook and eat, and work every day toward strategically growing our audience and hit our partnership goals.

  • Senior Digital Editor, Culinary at Food Network

    • Mar 2017 - Dec 2018

    Working closely with Food Network's test kitchen, video producers and social media team, I create fun stories, photos and videos about food for all of our vastly growing digital properties. I manage an editor, hire freelancer writers, photographers/videographers and food stylists, and commission content from culinary contributors — and pore over the analytics to make sure each pitch and project counts.Good with food (and words and a video camera)? I want to know you!

Challenged with daily content velocity quotas, I worked on everything from short newsy bites to highly produced features, with original photography, design, and reporting.In my tenure, our team breathed exciting new life into GoodHousekeeping.com, tripling unique visitors in two years.
