ABOUT

Patricia Karounos is a Toronto-based freelance culture writer and editor.

Currently, she is the managing editor of ELLE Gourmet, and she was previously the associate editor at ELLE Canada. A graduate of the Ryerson School of Journalism, she has also been a copy editor at Torontoist, the managing editor of Ryerson Folio, a reporter and copy editor at the Ryersonian, the managing editor of TEDxRyersonU Magazine, and head of copy at McClung's Magazine.

When not writing or editing, she can be found practicing karate—in which she has a black belt—tackling the to-read stack of books taking over her desk, or watching copious amounts of TV.
