Journalism Background

My journalism career has ranged from political reporting on Capitol Hill to food writing in New York. I’ve written for publications like Fast Company, The Atlantic, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Zagat, and Time Out New York.


Cleantech Experience 
I partner with leading startup CEOs, nonprofits, experts, and academics in the cleantech space and beyond on thought leadership and strategic communications. My clients speak at global conferences and are featured in top publications.

Healthcare Experience 

I create a variety of strategic content for healthcare clients, such as UnitedHealthcare, Independence Blue Cross, Temple Health, and Linkwell Health, as well as CEO thought leadership.

Higher Education Experience 

As an executive communications writer and strategist for two presidents of Temple University, I wrote and edited speeches, talking points, briefs, articles, columns, video scripts, presentations, hearing testimony and other correspondence. I also collaborated with senior leadership to create and implement executive communications strategy and crisis communications strategy. Past higher ed clients include the University of Notre Dame and ed tech companies.

Expertise in Food & Restaurants

Along with a love of writing, I have special expertise in food and restaurants. I earned my culinary degree in New York and cooked at Eleven Madison Park.

I was the Editor of three editions of Food & Wine’s Wine Guide book, a pocket guide to 500-plus producers. As Zagat’s Philadelphia Editor, I covered trends and wrote restaurant features and reviews. My food writing has appeared in publications like Food & Wine, Fast Company, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Time Out New York. 

My professional memberships include the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and Les Dames D’Escoffier. When I’m not writing or planning my next meal, I teach kids cooking and nutrition.

Wendy Ramunno has been one of my favorite writers to work with. While at Google/Zagat, Wendy was a market editor and always came with creative story ideas for her market and ones that were unique to our outlet. She was well sourced and had her pulse on food news and trends in Philly. Her copy was engaging, clean and thoughtful, and she always met deadlines. She brought a level of professionalism to the role that not many other writers did and it was always so appreciated. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

In my role as assigning editor, Wendy Ramunno is always on my A list of freelance writers. She’s a versatile pro who is well versed in a variety of subject areas. She can write fun lifestyle content as well as more science-based health pieces. She knows how to translate complex information into engaging, reader-friendly articles without dumbing it down. She always follows instructions and meets deadlines (qualities that should be universal but are definitely not). Plus, she’s also just plain lovely to work with.
