Midwestern family, North Carolina roots, Massachusetts high schooling. Truly an American girl.

I’ve aspired to be a food writer since I was baking cookies as a little girl. See left: eating frosting out of a bucket.

Attending pastry school in France changed my trajectory from a business degree to a baking one. See right: graduating, top of my class I might add.

Currently living in New York City as a publicist and writer, plotting my return to Paris someday somehow.
