Experience

Jenny joined Static Media in 2021, regularly contributing to the features, news, and recipe development teams for Mashed and Tasting Table. Her career in the world of food first began in 2009, when she worked as a pastry assistant at Tartes Fine Cakes & Pastries in Philadelphia. After moving to NYC, she refined her cooking skills and techniques at Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster Harlem, Michael White's Michelin-starred Marea, and Osteria Morini — where she earned her first sous chef and chef positions. She went on to take a pastry chef position with the Craveable Hospitality Group under Zac Young before moving to the highly esteemed M. Wells Steakhouse under Hugue Dufour in Long Island City, Queens. In 2020, Jenny set her sights on food writing and cooking independently for film and print. She has contributed insights on baking tools and equipment on The Spruce Eats, Serious Eats, and POPSUGAR Food. She has also written features for Yahoo! Lifestyle and native digital ad content for Allrecipes, Real Simple, and Better Homes & Gardens, and currently develops social media content across multiple platforms for Allrecipes.

Education

Jenny has a bachelor's degree in architecture from Philadelphia University and a diploma in baking & pastry arts from the Art Institute of Philadelphia.
