You may have seen me in a class/event working along side a chef or helping onboard our new volunteer staff or helping a customer pick out their perfect ideal pots and pans or a favorite outdoor pizza oven! 

I have three major passions: cooking, baking, and pizza—which I firmly believe deserves its own food group. 🍕👨🍳 I love being in the kitchen, trying new recipes, and occasionally creating something so good I consider opening a restaurant… until I remember how much work that sounds like.

But dogs? That’s a completely different level. 🐶❤️ I don’t just love dogs—I have a medically concerning level of enthusiasm for them. I will interrupt a conversation to pet a dog, cross a street to say hello to a dog, and remember a dog’s name before I remember yours. If there’s a dog in the room, congratulations… you are now my second favorite person.

My ideal life: a great kitchen, endless pizza, something baking in the oven, and enough dogs around me that animal control starts asking questions. 😂🐾
