Alisandra Puliti is an entertainment and lifestyle journalist with over 15 years of experience.  The Penn State alum has held several positions at HELLO! and HOLA! Media, Us Weekly and OK! Magazine and is a contributing editor for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Throughout her tenure, she has been a fixture at events such as the Golden Globes to the Cannes Film Festival and has interviewed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Eva Longoria, Jay-Z and more of Hollywood’s elite. A self-professed ‘social homebody,’ when she isn’t home binge-watching the newest streaming series from the States and Italy or perfecting pasta dishes, her constant wanderlust has her packing her bags and heading out for a new adventure – most likely back to Italy where she is in the process of renovating a condo on the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo! You can follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/apuliti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/apuliti/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710346605383000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1RQ5mXycF2H2G3QnwTTfQ0">Instagram</a> or her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pastaaliways/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/pastaaliways/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710346605383000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0TboPKyrhYOwMHf4TWVbpf">PastaALIways</a> account for all the deliciousness.
