She is a Graduate of a Master’s in Education and loves working with her local school district in the California Bay Area. She has a gift for creating with her hands. Photography, gardening, sewing, and crafting are her favorite hobbies. At a young age, her first culinary experience was watching her mother prepare meals for a family of seven. Her mother taught her to eat smart, experiment, and explore food substitutions to satisfy everyone’s personal taste. Growing up, her father was an officer in the Coast Guard, so the family moved approximately every three years. This provided the skill of communicating with others and discovering what people like to eat in various parts of the United States. Her next, unique experience came from cooking for friends while attending college and then for her own family. Her passion for healthy eating from her garden began when her husband deployed for the first time in 2004, when her son was 5 and daughter was 3. Her son has a sensitive palette and wanted to eat what he could see grow. For example, a meal would consist of recipes such as; Meal 5 – Borage and Vegetables: Basil Baked Stuffed Tomatoes, Borage and Catmint Garnished Salad, Sage and Tomato Zucchini Loaf, Chamomile Shrimp Pasta, and Mint Raspberry Ice. At the same time, she began to take photographs as a way to document her children’s growth and achieve personal peace. Her daughter inspired her to combine the cooking from the garden and photographing the life that grows in it. Her other accomplishments include publication of two poems from the International Library of Poetry and outstanding achievement in photography from the International Society of Photographers.
