About

Crystal Cun ate and earned her way through a master’s in Food Culture and Communications from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy. For one year, through March 2011, she was awash in a sea of olive oil, photojournalism and sustainable food production. Prior to this peripatetic European adventure, she worked in research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and studied economics at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. After her travels in Italy, she moved to New York, where she ran marketing programs for some of her favorite food groups: oysters, ginger ale, meat, and seafood. In her free time, she also turned vegetables and whipped cream like a boss as a student in the Culinary Techniques program at the International Culinary Center. Today, Crystal is the growth marketing director at Dry Farm Wines, which takes organic wine to the next level. In addition to being free of pesticides and additives, Dry Farm Wines are third party lab tested, to verify that they are sugar free, low alcohol, and low sulfite. In her free time, she is an avid sourdough baker, has run 10 marathons with a PR of 3:18, and is President Emeritus of the Prospect Park Track Club.
