Before joining the Grok Nation team, Dalene worked at Entertainment Weekly—but she still watches TV as if it’s her job. (If you ask about her favorite shows, prepare for a long list.) Off hours, she roots for the OKC Thunder, likes trying new restaurants, and is always attempting to get through her to-read book list. At GN, she writes about entertainment, food and drinks, beauty, and all things lifestyle when not doing managing editor duties.
