Sia Antunes Blaser has been with The Lisa Ekus Group (TLEG) since completing a dual
degree in Non-Fiction Writing and Anthropology of Food at Hampshire College. As
Literary and Public Relations Associate Sia maintains media lists, agenting records, and website content,
and handles various agency, PR, and research projects. She is dedicated to communication and to crafting clear and graceful prose.
She has worked in professional kitchens, on organic farms, and writes for Edible Pioneer Valley magazine. Sia studies and teaches
yoga, reads (anything!) and also enjoys dancing and feeding friends at home with her wonderful husband.
A graduate of Smith College, Corinne Fay worked for Cookthink.com before coming to The Lisa Ekus Group as a
Social Networking Associate. She created the Lisa Ekus digital marketing program and oversees Lisa's internet incarnations. As a native of Maine,
Corinne craves lobster coated in butter and Maine (low-bush!) blueberries year-round, though she certainly enjoys the asparagus bounty of Western
Massachusetts. When not working at TLEG, Corinne works at the Cunningham Center at the Smith College Museum of Art, rides her bike, makes jam, and
reads Gourmet Magazine cover-to-cover.
Sally Ekus joined TLEG in March of 2009. A graduate from Ithaca College, Sally has spent several of her post graduation years working
and traveling. On a trip to Vietnam as part of the very first official culinary delegation, Sally solidified her love for food and travel. Trying to deny the
inevitable was a lost cause, so Sally returned to Massachusetts to dive into the family business. Her work at TLEG includes maintaining agenting records and
requests, developing and maintaining website content, and the editing of various writing projects with the authors. In addition to learning and writing about
food, Sally has taken a particular interest in fine tuning her own culinary skills by conceptualizing and cooking up new dishes frequently. Her particular
passion is Asian food.
Daniele Mathras joined The Lisa Ekus Group in June 2009 after earning her MBA, focused on Marketing and Sustainability, from UMass Amherst. She received her
undergraduate degree in business from Babson College, and returned to the Pioneer Valley after spending four years in Los Angeles as a marketing and PR
professional in the entertainment industry. Daniele's experiences will help her in her role as Operations & Marketing Associate; overseeing the bookkeeping,
shipping and marketing functions for the office. Daniele is food-obsessed, watches food shows incessantly, and deeply enjoys cooking with and feeding her friends
and family. She is very passionate about the "buy local" food movement and is interested in learning more about organic farming practices to start her own garden
at home.
