an idiot’s guide to juggling chainsaws

As the Dining and Travel Editorial Manager at Eater and Thrillist, my copious duties are large and small. I shape Eater’s international and domestic dining coverage, oversee all stories on Thrillist, and manage a tastemaking team of editors and correspondents. I routinely lead exciting special projects and annual tentpoles; work with a deep global rolodex ranging from high-profile talent to first-time food writers; and orchestrate editorial strategy across newsletters, social platforms, and video. Whether I’m working on a major feature, breaking news, or brand-building social content, my goals are to amplify the voices of storytellers, do right by the people and cultures we cover, and build trust and loyalty with audiences.
