\"58<\/a>Charlotte Boutboul<\/strong>
\nProject Manager, Editor, Video Producer “Becoming a Dish”
\nDream Job: Editor, writer<\/p>\n

Charlotte is half French half Swedish and has lived in Paris, Stockholm, London and Karachi. She is a contributor to the French online magazine Luxsure, and has worked for the contemporary art department of the auction house Artcurial. Her love for art, literature, and cinema brought her to New York and NYU\u2019s cultural reporting and criticism program.\u00a0 Her most French feature is her facility to detect controversy in everything, while the most Swedish is being able to assemble an Ikea bed on her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Incredible journey of Nachos\u201d is a light project whose design is to reveal through the apparent triviality of Nachos the subtle intricacies and cultural diversity inherent to cuisine at large.<\/p>\n

\nJoanna is from Boston, MA. She is 100 percent Greek but most people assume she is Irish because of her vibrant red hair. Standing at a petite 5-foot-2 she is very ambitious and when pursuing a story will not leave any stone unturned. She is a multimedia journalist, but her passion is with broadcast. She thrives on hard-hitting stories that cause the audience to think and react. She has interned for six semesters for a variety of companies and mediums. She has a BA in English with a minor in journalism from Wheaton College and a MS in Journalism from New York University. She has spent the last year interning at CBS News in New York conducting interviews on red carpets, for consumer stories, feature, and more.<\/p>\n

Christina Dun<\/strong>
\nVideo Producer \u201cFrom Russia with Hate\u201d and \u201cBecoming A Dish\u201d

Christina is originally from Vancouver, British Columbia. \u00a0She thrives off of positive vibes, laughs a lot and is a huge fan of bacon.

\"Boat<\/a>Jon Leckie<\/strong>
\nVideo Producer, Reporter, Writer \u201cForeign Patriots\u201d
\nDream Job: Sailboat captain<\/p>\n

Jon\u2019s maternal grandmother, Eleanor Strandburg, was one of the half million
\nimmigrants shuffled through Ellis Island in 1921. She eventually settled in
\nBrooklyn\u2019s Bay Ridge neighborhood, where she would raise a family of seven
\nchildren. Of her four sons, three would serve in the United States military, fighting in both Korea and Vietnam. Her eldest son, Tommy Brooks, served two tours in Vietnam as a member of the 101st Screaming Eagles\u2019 Long Range Patrol Airborne Division, described by Kenn Miller in his book \u201cSix Silent Men\u201d as \u201ca scruffy crew of cocky scofflaws. Perhaps the finest maneuver element of its size in the history of the United States Army.\u201d His service earned him numerous decorations for valor, including the Purple Heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cForeign Patriots\u201d is dedicated to the selfless service of Tommy, Dennis and George.<\/p>\n

\nDream Job: Running my own digital media company<\/p>\n

Travis’s family came over from England just a few short years after the Mayflower, making him an eleventh generation American on his dad’s side. Travis’s great grandmother on her mother’s side fled to the United States from Romania to escape the rise of Third Reich. The rest of her family was not so lucky and never made it out of the concentration camps. Travis was born and raised in Los Angeles and moved to New York in 2012 to pursue a career in journalism. He now takes great pride when people tell him, “You don’t seem like you’re from LA,” because it’s usually meant as a compliment.<\/p>\n

\nProject Manager; Video Producer \u201cForeign Patriots”
\nDream Job: Sleep-deprived breaking news reporter<\/p>\n

Someone from China. \u201cEllie\u201d is her Sasha Fierce, with an almost Americanized smile concealing her true identity–Rui, a dark hair, slim-eyed girl who travels to Flushing twice a week and may have chicken feet in her lunch box. Her Chinese roots also guided her to find a balance of Yin and Yang in almost everything, for example she thinks Giant Pandas are the most perfect creatures in the world; zebras also ease her OCD.<\/p>\n

Ellie chose to work on the \u201cForeign Patriots\u201d team because she is fascinated by and curious about the idea of fighting for a country of choice.<\/p>\n

Raz\u2019s family comes from Jamaica, making him a first generation American. The lineage of his family can be traced all the way to his great-great-great grandfather (on mom\u2019s side) who came to Jamaica from Ireland. Having spent ages 13 to 14 in LA and 15 to 23 in Philadelphia, he\u2019s some juxtaposition of completely unbothered and annoyed all the time; mostly unbothered, but life you know?<\/p>\n

Raz chose to talk about how a dish changes cause tracking that kind of change is exciting and it was a good reason to eat nachos and stare at good food.<\/p>\n
