CURRENT MISSION

Keep moving forward, pulling people together and upwards.

ABOUT ME

Thoughtful and curious - I like to talk to people long enough to get past the surface. I love making and sharing food.

PHILOSOPHY

People crave connection and comfort as well as independence and freedom, and the elastic nature of these competing desires keeps us in flux, moving, learning.
