Experience

Haley's passion for all things food began in her teen years when she discovered her fascination with nutrition and how to prepare nourishing foods into delicious meals for others. Inspired to combine her love of food and cooking, while studying television broadcasting in college, she produced and hosted her own locally aired cooking show. Haley joined Static Media in 2024, writing for the food brands The Takeout and Mashed. When she's not taking a deep dive into the latest food news, Haley is crafting premium baked goods for her cottage bakery business and co-hosting "Foodie Friday," a segment that airs every Friday morning on Southern Colorado's well-known radio station KDZA, where she loves further connecting with others through the ingredients, insights, and stories behind what we eat.

Education

Haley earned her bachelor's degree in speech communication with a concentration in television broadcasting and a minor in nutrition from Metropolitan State University of Denver. She further developed her passion for health, cooking, and food education by earning a plant-based chef certification through the American Culinary Federation, where she studied both classic and plant-based culinary techniques.
