Experience
Camryn Teder has been working as a passionate writer for over six years. She has lent her talent to a variety of different fields before falling in love with food and drink writing in 2022. Prior to her work with Today Meal, she has covered topics such as sustainable farming and cooking on a budget for online publications such as BoldTV and Charleston Magazine. Her very first job was working as a barista at a local café, where she first fell in love with the taste and culture of coffee. In college she was always cooking for friends, the first to volunteer for bake sales, or suggest a new hole-in-the-wall restaurant to try. After college, the decision to join the Today Meal team at the cornerstone of her two favorite things, writing and food, was an easy one.
Education
Camryn studied media arts and mass communications at The University of South Carolina. She graduated in the spring of 2022.
