Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hiya! Im a junior in SY majoring in French (and possibly evolutionary biology also? I dont really know yet). I've always been interested in food, cuisine, and the concept of the food system, and I recently took a year off of Yale to attend culinary school in Paris to earn my certifications as a chef and pastry chef at Le Cordon Bleu. I am now back at Yale and eager to share what I have learned and hopefully help educate people I meet about the perils of the American food system and how we can avoid them. Aside from my culinary and academic pursuits, I am also an editor for the Yale Scientific Magazine and Captain of the Yale Equestrian Team.
