  • To complete her undergraduate degree in English, Josie wrote a 50-page collection of creative nonfiction essays centered around food.
  • She was a vegetarian for 19 years but now identifies as a flexitarian, eating meat and fish occasionally while traveling or when it looks too good to pass up.
  • As an amateur photographer, she loves styling and photographing food to make even the most mundane dishes look beautiful.

Experience

Josie began writing at 13 when she started a personal blog covering everything from food to travel to music. Her writing has appeared in various Rome-based English news publications and Total Food Service, a magazine aimed at professionals in the food service industry. She worked in restaurants for two years before attending university in Rome, Italy, where she was co-editor of her university's literary and arts magazine for two years. During her time in Italy, she indulged in regional delights across the country, from agnolotti in Turin to cannoli in Sicily. She loves when food and literature intertwine and always looks for the next best piece of food writing.
