Experience

Mary has always had a love for food and writing and was thrilled when she finally had the opportunity to combine the two. She has been writing about food since college when she rebooted her university's chapter of Spoon University. While in college, she began experimenting with food photography and snapped a photo of just about every plate she was served. She is now the editor for multiple local online and print publications, including Current Magazine, which covers the local food and entertainment scene in Ann Arbor.

Education

Mary has a bachelor's degree in multimedia journalism from Grand Valley State University.
