She’s held various jobs in the restaurant industry since she was 15 years old, but really got into things in college when she was at UC Santa Cruz, where she worked at Bonny Doon Vineyard and tended bar at a wine-focussed restaurant. After college I spent about a year working on farms around the globe, and then came home to start writing and shooting food stories. She also went to culinary school while working full time as a food editor at an alt weekly at the LA Times in order to improve her food writing. Now she creates cinematic stories for her digital channels, showcasing destinations around the globe, and how culinary travelers can best enjoy them.You can follow along on her journey here in Chicago @kristasimmons!We're also answering this weeks question from @carsonmlove!

And trying doing it as a woman who wears many hats; entrepreneur, wife, mom, friend, can sometimes feel pretty daunting. And when you mix in the roller coaster ride that is building an online presence and community - yikes!That’s why we aim to champion real conversations that foster community, friendship, and ultimately remind us that every woman should have her own clique. And by clique we don't mean the “you-cant-sit-with-us type”, but the kind that brings together like-minded women and builds up rather than tears down.We want to give you a space to shape your mindset to be smarter in business, tougher on nonsense, kinder to yourself and the know-how to thrive on the interwebs of the wildly unknown. “When Being Cliquish Is Good” is more than a tagline at Cliquish®, it’s a mindset. The bottom line – a woman can thrive when she’s got herself a healthy, kickass community, and we’re bringing this message to you weekly. In every episode, our host Alle Pierce grabs a glass of wine, cozies up in the cutest AirBnb and interviews some of the most inspiring women content creators from coast to coast.
