My Food Culture Journey
Behind every bite, there’s a story. Join me on a journey through history to explore how centuries of culture have shaped the way we eat.
I’m passionate about both food and history. I spend a great deal of time learning about the traditions and flavors that influenced what we eat today.
I was born in England, raised in Venezuela, and now live in California. My multicultural background has given me a deep appreciation for a wide range of cultures and experiences. Throughout my career, I’ve worked as an art director for top international agencies, including Young & Rubicam and Grey Advertising, leading campaigns for major brands such as GE, Procter & Gamble, Lee Jeans, and Revlon.
Eventually, I transitioned into digital media, where I led social marketing and advertising campaigns for brands in the organic and natural products space.
Today, I also manage the thriving Flipboard User Group. This vibrant community shares educational resources and marketing tips for bloggers and businesses using the platform.
I’m an avid traveler and speak Spanish, French, and a bit of Italian.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing it. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, feel free to reach out at [email protected].
