About Me

I'm a passionate, committed vegan and supporter of animal rights. I spend a good deal of my time volunteering at the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (http://www.phillypaws.org), cooking and baking, food shopping, reading, writing, blogging, and wandering my new city of Philadelphia. Prior to moving, I was a medical editor at a clinical journal in New Jersey. You can find my writing at the blog I created, Mutual Menu (http://mutualmenu.blogspot.com) as well as at the award-winning blogs I contribute to, Vegans of Color (http://vegansofcolor.wordpress.com) and Girl with a Satchel (http://girlwithasatchel.blogspot.com). My writing also has been published in BUST, Elle, and Guitar World, albeit as letters to the editor but you've got to start somewhere. I live in Philly with my fiance, Brian Kantorek and our adopted dog, Benji.
