Experience

Brianna is a freelance writer based in New York City. She has over five years of formal experience penning articles for web-based publications, starting in 2018 with Our Community Now covering regional happenings across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, where she resided at the time. With much of her portfolio drawing on foods and restaurants respectively, it only made sense to channel her passion for culinary matters by joining the Static Media team in 2021. She writes for the Mashed brand, contributing pieces on grocery products, drive-thru menus, and popular American cuisine ranging from sandwiches to gyros.

Education

Brianna has a Bachelor's Degree in English with a Minor in Creative Writing from the University of Oregon, where she served as the senior poetry editor for the campus's literary magazine.
