About Me

I am a recipe tester, developer, and food writer in New York. As a culinary student, I focused on developing nutritious, budget-friendly, and adaptable recipes to accommodate various diets and food allergies. I am committed to sourcing healthy, local, and seasonal foods, and I am known never to pass up a farmer’s market! As part of my culinary training, I studied in Provence, France, where I learned about sustainable farming and cooking practices. Concurrently, I worked in a restaurant that earned a green Michelin star for sustainability under a two Michelin-starred chef.  I am committed to passing along what I learned by helping to educate others about how to easily and practically reduce food waste.

I have previously worked as both an educator and an administrator, and a joy in my work was using food and cooking to bridge cultural connections. I believe food helps create and foster community, which ultimately brings people together.

As a native New Yorker, I love exploring different neighborhoods, perusing ethnic markets, and finding new dishes and cuisines to replicate at home. Friends and family know that I express myself through food with my cooking, and I am at my happiest surrounded by my loved ones at my kitchen table over a meal.
