— About —

 

Hey There.

I'm Elva.

I’m a veteran multimedia reporter turned freelance journalist and media consultant. 

I spent ten years at the Wall Street Journal as a live video producer and reporter. I'm based in Brooklyn but I've traveled to Scotland, Japan, Hong Kong and France, among others, to uncover the best stories in spirits, food and hospitality. My work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Elle, Bloomberg Pursuits, Forbes, DuJour and Cool Hunting, among other publications.

I’m the author of “Zero Proof: 90 Non-Alcoholic Recipes for Mindful Drinking,” published Spring 2021 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. It’s inspired by my global travels and offers a look at what the world’s best bartenders do when they don’t use booze.

I have contributed to the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University as well as “The Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails” (editors David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum, published Jan. 2022).

For book interviews or other collaborations, please send me a note.
