Experience

Pamela has enjoyed returning to her roots, covering food topics with readers of Daily Meal. She began her career as a writer in 1999 when she published her first magazine article right before graduating from journalism school. Shortly after graduation, she joined a small daily newspaper in Central Texas. Then, she moved into public relations writing for an Austin-based non-profit before becoming a freelancer more than a decade ago. Since then, she's written on a wide array of topics for websites, including serving as an expert for The Spruce (formerly About.com) for almost two decades. Her writing there included exploring kitchen-related antiques and vintage items like gadgets, glassware, and cookbooks. Pamela has also written for magazines including The Intelligent Collector, Antique Trader, and Numismatist. Additionally, she is the author of three books.
