She has also collaborated on programming with celebrated culinary entities such as the The James Beard Foundation, Bon Appétit and Heritage Radio Network, with whom the latter, serves as Executive Producer and Host of the Feast + Harmony Podcast – a show dedicated to highlighting the symbiotic relationship between food and the people that work, educate and play in the arts, entertainment and tourism industries. Through conversation the podcast explores how these cultural totems do not live within a silo, but rather cross-section to influence lifestyle, careers, activism and sustainability, within popular culture and beyond.

A unique blend of Lebanese-American, Italian and Irish, her childhood was spent surrounded by kibbeh, tabbouleh, hearty stews and homemade ragus. She believes authentic and nutritious food is the ultimate expression of love, and with that published and co-authored Farmer and Chef Asheville, a cookbook which celebrates a unique food culture comprised of chefs, farmers and craft artisans nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
