Camila Chaparro is a senior editor on ATK's books team. An avid home cook for years, she traded in a PhD and a career in international nutrition research to pursue cooking professionally. After graduating from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, she worked in Boston-area restaurants and taught recreational cooking classes before landing at ATK. Her favorite thing about working on the books team (other than her amazing colleagues) is getting to delve into a new topic every few months and get her hands dirty in the kitchen.
