“Being in the kitchen is my happy place. It’s where I come to let go of the day and get creative.”

Let’s take a step back… To when I was a high school science teacher and I had No energy or Motivation to cook when I came home from work. I ended up ordering out for almost every meal, which took a huge toll on my body and energy levels. When I quit my teaching job, I began working at one of the largest recreational cooking schools in the U.S. I decided that I wanted to be in the food industry and leverage my talents to build my brand. I wanted to build a brand to help people eat better and makes meals enjoyable again.
