Born and raised in Venezuela to an Israeli father and American mom, I crisscrossed cultures enjoying roadside cachapas, fried kashkaval, and Apple Jacks with way too much milk. The travel and food thing stuck, leading me to a career as a food, beverage, and travel writer based in South Florida. I write for numerous outlets and am the author of My Culinary Compulsion, Serving Up Sizzle, a global food memoir with recipes.
