McKenna is a seasoned editor with a fascination with culinary experience in its physical and written forms, which has allowed her to work as a food and travel journalist with the teams and test kitchens of Food Network, AllRecipes, Eat This Not That!, PBS, SBS Australia, and Australian Traveler Media. She believes that good storytelling is what makes food newsworthy – whether that be through chefs, history, or a well-constructed plate. Now representing international restaurants and chefs around the world in PR, she brings an acuity for culinary innovation and works to forward the growth of individuals to become leaders in their communities and beyond.
As a classically trained musician, creative discipline draws her to the fine dining scene, though from growing up in the South West and working closely with family farmers in Australia, she is most curious about food at its core and brings insight back from her frequent travels throughout rural communities around the world.
