Atlanta Contributor

Lia is a lifestyle journalist who has called Atlanta home for more than a decade. Her work appears in The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, among other national and regional publications. Though she writes about travel and interior design, food is her favorite subject, whether it’s profiling chefs, spotlighting a new restaurant, or uncovering a new trend. When she’s not writing, she’s likely hanging out with her family or playing tennis (poorly).
