Background

Profis was born and raised in the Sunset District of San Francisco, California. She went to San Francisco State University where she studied Broadcasting and Electronic Communication Arts. Meanwhile, she interned at CNET for three years until May 2011, when it was announced she would become a full-time editor to launch the CNET How To brand.

During her college career, Profis explored food and cooking. In 2010, she launched Flavorcraft, a YouTube channel where she hosts cooking videos with original recipes and tips. She produces, hosts, and edits each video. That channel launched her into her most recent role, hosting a cooking segment for a national PBS television show, America's Heartland. Profis also hosts the "Farm to Fork" segment, where she meets with farmers and cooks unique dishes using their crops.

She co-founded and, until January 2012, coordinated Digitally Chic, a networking group for women in San Francisco. She was also previously a radio show host for the show "Geek and the City" but it has since been discontinued.
