"You can never be overdressed or overeducated." - Oscar Wilde

Cait Malilay is a journalist-turned-educator and proud California native. After graduating Cum Laude from College of the Canyons with her associates of arts degrees, she moved from sunny and sandy Southern California to the snowy and cozy Buffalo area to continue her undergraduate studies of English and Journalism at Buffalo State University, a pioneer school for education since 1871, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with her bachelor's degree.

While pursuing her studies at College of the Canyons, Cait served as an entertainment anchor for the college’s news source, Cougar News, which is now known as Canyons News. In addition to working in a live studio setting, she also made her own packages, and, combining her love for books, created her own segment for the show called “What’s Good On The Shelf” where she gave literature recommendations to encourage students to read more.

Following College of the Canyons, Cait joined the two main media organizations at Buffalo State University, The Record, an award-winning student-run news outlet, and WBNY 91.3 FM’s “Let’s Talk, Buffalo.” Aside from media, she also worked as an academic writing mentor at the Academic Center For Excellence at the school's library. She provided Educational Opportunity Program students study skills, suggestions, and strategies to succeed. One of her fondest memories was working as a teaching assistant in the intensive EOP Summer Academy. It was here that she discovered her passion for education.

Upon graduating, she worked as a freelance reporter. Longing to make a bigger impact on the world and seeking adventure, she decided to pursue a career in teaching.

In 2024, she received her TEFL certification from Manhattan University. She is an ENL teacher in New York and resides in Stamford, Connecticut.

Cait's Plate: Conwell Coffee Hall...Can we just toast to this aesthetic toast?

Conwell Coffee Hall, located at 6 Hanover Street, is a coffee shop and eatery in Life and Trust, a performing arts center. photo credit: Cait Malilay From the moment I walked through the revolving door and up those steps, I was immersed back in time to the 1920s. I was greeted by a large art deco painting. photo credit: Cait Malilay I take a look at the menu and see the typical cafe assortment of coffee and teas, but wait...there's a whole section labeled "TOASTS?" Count me in! Being a California native, of course I'm going to order the avocado toast. My mom orders the crab toast. Now...the beverage of choice. Since it's afternoon, we decide to go with something light, a cappuccino. We are given a number and to our left, we see the seating area. In the back there's leather couches and coffee tables. Spread out are rows of tables, so we see that we are going to be sitting pretty close knit with other groups. When we're trying to find a spot to sit, a ge...

Cait's Plate: Pasta de Pasta - The place to indulge your pasta cravings

photo credit: Cait Malilay Pasta de Pasta, located at 192 1st Ave., is a new restaurant that opened in East Village last June. If you're a pasta lover and you're looking for a reasonably priced dish, then this is the place for you. You can get a fresh in-house pasta for as low as $9.90. I heard about this place on Instagram and I knew I just had to try it for myself. Customers are given the option of their sauce and any additional toppings. If you've seen other posts, what probably caught your attention is that it's only $9.90, but that only goes for the simple Fettuccine Alfredo. It is, however, made in a parmesan wheel cheese. If you get Fettucine pasta noodles with any other sauce, it will be extra. The restaurant is very inviting and there is a window where you can witness the magic that goes into making it. photo credit: Cait Malilay I'll be honest, the first time that I went there, the pasta was hot, but the noodles were a little sticky. My second visit was...
