- Serena's food and nutrition writing has covered everything from quick, protein-packed lunches to intuitive eating.
- She especially enjoys writing about the everyday side of food, whether that means testing a cooking tip, digging into why an ingredient behaves the way it does, or finding ways to answer the questions home cooks actually have.
- She has spent years writing about nutrition research for consumer audiences, with a focus on what the evidence actually means in practice.
Experience
Serena has been writing food, nutrition, and health content since 2020. She has contributed to sites such as Arrae, Business Insider, and EatRight.org, in addition to developing patient education resources and contributing her expertise to national health and lifestyle publications. As a registered dietitian, much of her work involves translating nutrition science into conversations about food, cooking, and everyday eating. She brings that same curiosity to Daily Meal, with a particular interest in food science, cooking techniques, grocery products, and the small details that can make home cooking easier.
