About Me

Hello! My name is Mariah Bourne. I started my freelance writing journey as a food and hospitality writer. Since childhood, I've always been a foodie. Once I became lactose-intolerant, I learned and adapted new ways of eating that further sparked my interest. My knowledge and life experience with dietary restrictions helped me gain B2B clients with companies geared towards alternative diets and the latest specialty food products. 

While food writing will always be near and dear, my career background is actually in education and substance abuse research. After graduating with a Master's degree in Psychology, I contributed to various research studies on health insurance and fighting the opioid epidemic. As I advance in writing, I've grown to enjoy writing about addiction topics and educational health insurance pieces.
