I'm a seasoned writer and creative director, passionate about telling stories of all kinds. As a freelance editorial & marketing consultant, I help brands find their voices and share them with the world. As a blogger at Glutton for Life, and as a features writer, I explore my love of nature, cooking, cocktails, botany and foraging. I'm the editor-at-large for DV8 Magazine, the author of "The Bergdorf Goodman Cookbook" (Harper Collins 2015) and a collaborator on the forthcoming "Cocktail Chameleon" with entertaining expert Mark Addison. I live in Sullivan County with my husband George Billard, a filmmaker and gardener.
