She is self taught and inspired by several cooks like Alice Waters, Edna Lewis, Julia Childs, and her homesteading Great Grandma. In her mission to educate and empower others to cook for themselves, she started a small business, Better Off Fed, where she sells spice blends. Her cooking focuses on local ingredients to highlight the beauty of each season. With an interest in food sovereignty, she keeps a small flock of backyard chickens, a seasonal vegetable garden, and a few fruiting perennials. She believes in the power and joy of nourishing ourselves, our communities, and our planet with good food and sustainable agricultural practices.
