Jaylene is a Bay Area native turned Angeleno, which initially felt weird to say, but LA’s food scene is slowly winning her over.
After completing a long educational career – a BA in Biology, a Master of Theological Studies, and a MBA with a Nonprofit Management emphasis – Jaylene worked for several years in the Bay Area nonprofit sector.
She occasionally moonlights as a session musician and a writer (both on her own and for outlets like McSweeney’s), but her true crowning achievement in life was winning a Reading Rainbow contest as an 8-year-old, and has spent most of her time trying to live up to that.
