Magdalene P.

Magdalene Perez lives with her husband and two cats in New York City. She's hugged a whale shark in Isla Mujeres, celebrated carnival in Cadiz, eaten freshly caught swordfish in Anguilla & field-tested the best Sazeracs in New Orleans. When she's not a work, you can find her cooking up new recipes in the kitchen or killing it on the bocce court.
