bio
I understand the journey of motherhood: the ups and downs and everything in between.
The abundance of information at our fingertips is wonderfully overwhelming, but there are times when a new mom requires visceral, hands-on help.
New moms sometimes find themselves away from friends and family who naturally make up the support village. Like their babies, new moms need to feel that they are being held and nurtured.
My personal experience with two children has shown me firsthand the importance of community assistance.
I have come to realize that the combination of my educational, professional and life experiences could be bundled up to provide a much needed service to new moms.
I have earned a culinary degree at the California School of Culinary Arts - Cordon Bleu Program in Pasadena, California. Throughout my life, I have held various positions in the food industry such as server, bartender, caterer, manager, chef, and business owner.
I am here to add support to the village.
It would be my pleasure to prepare that big bowl of chicken noodle soup!
