Experience

Samantha is currently the food and drink assistant editor at Paste Magazine and writes articles about food, wine, and culture on a freelance basis for publications like VinePair, Food52, and Thrillist. She's interested in drawing connections between what we eat and drink and what it says about our cultures, our worldviews, and our politics.

Education
