Nation's Restaurant News

As a senior editor at Nation’s Restaurant News, I regularly interviewed industry folks and obsessed over how delivery and technology transformed the restaurant industry. I also wrote daily news and feature stories and edited various sections and special issues of the magazine, including two Jesse H. Neal Award-winning issues.

'Finding a Restaurant's Place' - 2020 Neal Award for Best Single Issue

'Teen Vision' - 2019 Neal Award for Best Single Issue
