I’m an accidental chef and former culinary instructor, who eventually traded in her chef’s coat for a keyboard. These days, I write about food, life, and everything in between, blending flavors and feelings on the page the same way I used to in the kitchen.

I’m the author of two cookbooks and the writer behind A Taste of Belonging, my Substack newsletter filled with stories, recipes, and reflections.

​

I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where I love to spend time outdoors with my dog Gus, and wandering farmers markets like it’s a competitive sport.
