Marcella (Marci) Symington relocated from Texas to Arizona to pursue an MBA at the Thunderbird School of Global Management and now calls Arizona her home. A former CPA, she made the leap to the culinary world, obtaining a degree in Culinary Arts, Baking, and Restaurant Management from Arizona Culinary Institute. Marci writes about the Arizona food and beverage scene on her blog, TEXAZTASTE, and contributes to “a taste of az” magazine, sharing her passion for the culinary arts. When she’s not writing, she love hiking Arizona’s beautiful trails with her husband and their English Cocker Spaniel, Ozy.
