My biggest passions in life (aside from my family) are making a positive difference in the world and fresh healthy food and drinks. The farmers market is my happy place. The beauty of the produce and the creative ways which people use it are inspiring to me. For me, food is like art - it stimulates the senses and has a direct impact on our bodies and state of mind. I believe what we consume directly impacts our well-being and our planet.
With a background in social work I realize there are some people who don’t have others to help them, such as foster kids who have grown out of the system or domestic violence survivors, so my vision includes creating a support system that provides a solid foundation and chance to make their own difference in the world. It is important to me to leave a legacy that perpetuates good and leaves the world a better place for our children and grandchildren. People helping each other to be the best versions of themselves.
