Chloe has made it her mission to try the national dish of every country she has been to (24 and counting!).
Trained in anthropology, Chloe can talk for hours about how much a culture is informed and defined by its food choices and patterns.
Despite inconsistent baking results, Chloe has hopes that she will one day figure out how to use yeast properly.

Experience

Chloe is a freelance writer working toward a Master's degree in Environmental Studies. She has written for Mashed, Reader's Digest, and Tasting Table. She enjoys hiking, HGTV, and halloumi.

Education

Despite always wanting to be a writer, Chloe got her degree in anthropology rather than creative writing. She finds that her anthropological training gives her a holistic framework to understand cultures and human behaviors, which she finds feeds and informs her writing in a unique way.
