Experience

Cassie learned to cook by shadowing her mother and grandmother in the kitchen. After graduating college, she began her writing career as a copywriter for a cookware company. There, she wrote blog posts, how-tos, and chef profiles — and realized her affinity for food writing. She's gone on to pursue a career as a freelance food writer and corporate copywriter. Cassie keeps her refrigerator's dedicated "butter drawer" fully stocked with a wide selection, ready to be turned into an emergency batch of cookies or gougeres at a moment's notice.

Education

Cassie graduated from Knox College in 2019, where she majored in Creative Writing and minored in Anthropology. During her time at Knox, she wrote for the college's newspaper and literary magazine.
