The Girl

My name is Kelly. I love to eat, cook and dream about food - hence the chubby belly.

I'm obsessed with French bulldogs, European royals, peonies, YA dystopian fiction, and Papyrus birthday cards. I traveled to Paris when I was 18 and fell in love with it. I'm a firm believer in going barefoot, procrastinating and surrounding oneself with good company and even better food. I love to cook (and eat), but most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing in the kitchen. So I approach it like most things in life: have a plan but always be prepared to improvise.

You can find samples of my work on my portfolio. All articles featured were written between 2009-2012 while working as an assistant editor and food columnist for The American University's weekly newspaper, The Eagle. Each article is accompanied by an original piece of food photography.
