Taysha Murtaugh
Title: Editorial Director, Commerce

Taysha Murtaugh is the Editorial Director for the Food Group on the commerce team. She joined Dotdash Meredith in February 2019. From her first gig at Meredith to her time at Hearst, Taysha has spent her career creating and editing food, lifestyle, and entertaining content.

Highlights:

  • Her work has been featured in many publications including Martha Stewart, Country Living, Diabetic Living (now LivingWell with Diabetes, a part of EatingWell), Better Homes and Gardens, and Woman's Day.
  • She was a finalist for a Hearst Editorial Excellence Award and received a nod from The New York Times for her original reporting.

Experience

Like many, Taysha’s interest in food began at home. She grew up taste-testing her mom’s culinary creations, and as an adult developed a particular passion for coffee and baked goods (blame her time working at cafes and bakeries).

Taysha has nearly a decade of experience in food, entertaining, and other lifestyle content. She's penned profile pieces, recipe roundups, and food-lover gift guides and is committed to informing and inspiring readers. When she's not hunting for the best products and polishing copy, she's probably tending her herb garden, baking bread, or walking her dog, coffee in hand.

Education

Taysha received her BS in Journalism at Iowa State University.
