About Us
Kiera Andrews, Founder
Hey there! I’m Kiera, although if you’re familiar with the Tampa food scene, you may know me as This Babe Eats. After graduating from the University of Tampa I started a food blog as a hobby while simultaneously beginning my career in Media Strategy for some of the top hospitality brands in the country. In 2020, after working at various advertising agencies for 6+ years, I decided it was time to branch out on my own. Since then I’ve worked with some of the most well known locally owned food, beverage & hospitality businesses in Tampa Bay on their social media strategies, content creation, and various consulting projects.

A meal I'll never forget: Punk Royale in Stockholm, Sweden
