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 life, food, 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, poetry, recipes, and reflections.

​

I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where you can often find me wandering the outdoors with my dog Gus, reading a good book or sipping really great wine.
