Experience
Lori's interest in writing began in elementary school when she won first prize in a school-wide writing contest. She went on to dual-major in English/Creative Writing and become Senior of the Year in Spanish (with a 20+ page literary paper written in Spanish to boot). Lori has worked as a registered dietitian (RD) since 2013, and she loves the challenging combination of writing to persuade people toward healthy eating. She began writing for the Daily Meal in 2023 with a slant toward nutrition and wellness in every piece.
