Sara Lipka is a journalist with a local food habit. Since 2003 she has written about college students as a staff reporter for
The Chronicle of Higher Education, in Washington, D.C. Last year she was an intern for
The Farm at Sunnyside, in Washington, Virginia, and this year she is starting a vegetable garden at the
Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland.
Sara formerly interned at The Atlantic and has since interviewed authors about
Roe v. Wade,
libido, and
settling. She graduated from Duke University
summa cum laude in 2001, then spent a year in Chile as a Fulbright fellow, researching political theater.
An avid cook, Sara usually travels with a tiny bottle of truffle salt and keeps trying to concoct new combinations of ingredients. She has worked as a papergirl, camp counselor, umpire, and cashier at the Cosmic Cantina, in Durham, North Carolina, where she never got sick of the guacamole.
