Alice Rich

Alice is a freelance writer and personal trainer from Aotearoa, New Zealand, with over a decade of writing experience spanning website copywriting, newsletters, annual reports, grant writing, blog posts, social media captions, press releases, and feature articles. She began her career writing New York and London-focused culture and travel pieces for a small online magazine. From there, Alice became the resident Health Education Writer for Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand and the social media manager for a local food truck collective. She has written for various publications, non-profit organizations, and community groups, and, most recently, she's been spilling her secrets about all the best places to eat and things to do in New Zealand for The Urban List. Alice is fascinated by how food connects people, even when language cannot, and is interested in how traditional diets are informed by the local planetary biospheres and cultural beliefs. In 2022, Alice created a freelance copywriting service called Impactful, which provides bold, sassy, and ethical website copywriting for people who care about the world and everything in it. She joined Tasting Table in 2023 and is excited to continue waxing lyrical about good food.

Alice has a bachelor's degree in human nutrition and foreign language from Massey University and the University of Auckland in New Zealand, accompanied by professional certificates in fitness instruction and personal training from AUT University and a postgraduate diploma in arts therapy from Whitecliffe College.
