As a field producer for Masa Revolution and all-around food lover, Natalie Yemenidjian has discovered a lot about Los Angeles, a city she has lived in all of her 23 years.

Here are some tips she has picked up so far: Food from mobile vendors tend to be messy so take some wet napkins with you, every Angeleno thinks they know which truck has the best grub, and if you’re not from Los Angeles chances are you wish you had more mobile food trucks in your area.

Yemenidjian had practically gotten off a plane from Spain and jumped right into this project with the director of Masa, who she met on her adventures as a journalist.

As a super sophomore at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, Calif., she has been the editor of the school paper Roundup and the school magazine The Bull, and launched the school’s first Internet radio station KPCRadio.com. She covered education and business for the Burbank Leader and Glendale News-Press. She later went on to intern for Southern California Public Radio’s KPCC.

Yemenidjian has won awards for writing and reporting, editorial cartooning, page design and multimedia reporting from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges as well as from Pierce College’s Media Arts Department. Current TV viewers “picked for TV” her multimedia story “Esha, Dressed in White.”
