As a food obsessed Miami native, Mandy Baca found her true passion for writing while in hospitality school. Uninspired by the school’s corporate sensibilities, she dreamt of a more creative route where food and art merged. While obtaining a masters degree in Italian Gastronomy & Tourism at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, her food passion took her on tasty adventures throughout Europe. In her free time, she enjoys being involved with charitable organizations and is on a personal mission to advance the interest in food culture in Miami. Most days she can be found writing on her personal blog titled The Ramblings of a Hungry Artist, where she intersects food and just about everything. As a young writer, she hopes that her unique voice will gain an avid following. Follow her on Twitter: @ahungryartist.
