Sia Antunes 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 writing 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 as a research assistant
to the author of Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World (Hudson Street Press, Dec. 2007).
Sia dances, reads (anything!) and enjoys feeding friends at home with her wonderful fiancé.
Ashley Ondrick joined The Lisa Ekus Group in September 2008 after a brief stint teaching high school economics. She graduated from Bentley University with a degree in Economics & Finance, and is putting her skills to use as Office Administrator; handling bookkeeping, shipping, media training preparation, and other tasks needed to keep the office running smoothly. Ashley is deeply committed to non-profit work and enjoys her involvement with TLEG’s charitable endeavors. She is passionate about food — especially all things Italian after spending a semester in Florence, Italy — and loves bringing people joy through her cooking. She also enjoys traveling, skiing, art, and spending time with family and friends.
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.
