Raised in Nova Scotia and based in Toronto, Pay is a seasoned media host and producer, a food and travel writer and the co-creator of the chili miso condiment, Sacha-ish made in Ontario by Zing Pantry Shortcuts.
A frequent guest on television shows across the country, Pay has appeared on the CBC, CTV, CityTV, Global and the Food Network. Her stories can be found in Canadian Living magazine, The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, the National Post and Chatelaine.

"As a volunteer at the Fort York Food Bank, I have seen the direct impact of the work done by Second Harvest. When the truck pulls up, it’s all hands on deck to get the food as quickly as possible to the growing number of Torontonians who rely on food banks to feed their families. The fresh produce is always received with gratitude by the growing number of students, parents and seniors who struggle to access healthy food."
