Mackie Ermocida

Mackie Ermocida started working in the food and beverage industry in 2006 and eventually earned her BA in Tourism & Hospitality Management from Temple University in 2009. She continued on to earn an MBA and MS in Managing Human Capital in 2015. She then went on to earn her JD from Temple University Beasley School of Law. While she earned her graduate degrees, she was a Contracting Officer for the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration. She currently holds the role of Associate Counsel at Comcast Business. However, the constant thread throughout her life has been her love of food. This passion lead her to create a food social media account, aptly named @mackies_meals, over the pandemic - which focuses on recipes and highlighting lesser known food events through the city. She has had recipes of hers shared on the Parmigiano Reggiano Website and Billy Penn. She is also in discussions with multiple local publications to write features for community-based food artisans. She values not only the creative expression of food, but the stories as well. They are, in her opinion, what make food in this city uniquely amazing.
