Experience

Heather's first published work was a short book exploring the cultural impact of food through the lens of a potluck dinner. Schoolhouse Press published it when she was six years old, and the only copy was then eaten by a dog. She went on to start a food blog in the early aughts that celebrated cooking and eating in New York. She's written for Bustle and Wide Open Media, among others. These days, she writes about food for the internet and is trying to chase down the perfect tamale.

Education

Heather attended SUNY Empire State College and pursued a degree in creative writing and gender in a cross-cultural perspective.
