I’m originally from Chicago, IL.(yay midwest!)

I will drive hours for a great meal.

My husbands’ my favorite travel buddy.

I almost always prefer salty to sweet.

I originally went to culinary school after college, intending to become a restaurant chef (not foodstylist/recipe developer).

I became a mom in 2019 and again in 2023. My girls are one of the biggest highlights of my life. I couldn’t imagine life without them…also, I miss sleep.

I love my dad’s philosophy of “work hard, play hard” and always try to make sure I have a good work/life balance.

I live my life off endless lists, it keeps me sane.

Croatia has been my favorite country to visit so far.

My friends and family, and the connections I have with them are really important to me and also keep me sane.

I have a precious dog, Dexter, whom my husband and I are pretty obsessed with.

I think laughing so hard until your sides hurt is one of the best feelings ever.

I wish I enjoyed massages, but I don’t.

My favorite way to explore new cities is on a bike.

I’m originally from Boise, Idaho.
Yes, I love potatoes.

Costco hot dogs are my favorite thing to eat.

Give me all the gummy candy in the world and I will be so happy.

I love going to museums.

I studied graphic design for three years.

I graduated from Art Center College of Design with a degree in commercial photography.

I have resting bitch face.

I love to draw on my ipad in my spare time, and read all the books.

I re-watch Friends, Harry Potter and Star Wars – a lot. (maybe too much)

I love to travel and explore new places with my husband, Aaron.

He is the best, good thing I married him.

Flipping through 70s interior design books with a giant glass of wine is my ideal Saturday night.

Exploring thrift stores and flea markets to find weird and beautiful stuff for the studio prop collection or my home is so satisfying.

I have a cat named Napoleon and he is huge and grumpy.

I exclusively listen to classic rock.

I buy too many ceramics.

Brown Butter Fettuccine Alfredo recipe is my favorite. 

My favorite place to relax is Big Sur, CA.

I bought a house in 2019 and it has been the most fun remodeling and making it our own.
