Ava Chen serves as Nutrition & Features Director at a senior editorial level, overseeing nutrition-forward stories and long-form features.
Her scope covers a multidisciplinary group of registered dietitians, features writers, and recipe developers, with coordination across photo, video, product, and social.
She manages recurring series on healthy cooking methods, grocery label literacy, and ingredient education, and she maintains standards for evidence citations and plain-language claims.
Core responsibilities include content strategy, editorial calendars, style guidance for nutrition language, and cross-functional review of UX elements that support accurate reading of nutrition data.
She tracks article completion rate, average time on page, and reader saves to assess usefulness; public awards or audited traffic for her portfolio are not listed.
Earlier roles included nutrition editing for meal plans and seasonal packages with a focus on practical swaps and portion guidance.
She started her career in nutrition analysis and database validation for health media before moving into features.
Her notable editorial contributions include Q&As with dietitians and explainers on fiber, fats, and weekly meal planning that emphasize clarity over marketing.
