I was born in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. At age 15, my family packed up and moved to Bellingham. What a culture shock! I am very grateful they made the decision to move our family to the great PNW. I met my husband and 25 years later we are still together. We have an amazing son who’s 8 and 3 four-legged fur babies.

I have worked in the food/restaurant industry for over 20 years. In fact there isn’t much I haven’t done in the service industry. Serving people and making them have an amazing experience has always brought me joy. I learned a lot of very valuable tools working in the service industry.

In 2010 I broke my leg. I reflected on my career. What was next? It was time to learn a new craft. COOKING! I have always loved to experiment with new flavors and cuisines. Culinary school was the next logical step. I attended Le Cordon Bleu and graduated top of my class. When I was asked why I wanted to cook and what direction I wanted to take my new career I would say, “I want to make the world happy through food”. I always knew I wanted to be a caterer. I love the hustle and bustle of making big events happen; presenting small details that can make all the difference for a party. I went to work for a private catering company that did high end food for private aircraft. From there I moved onto one of Washington’s most exclusive catering companies, Lisa Dupar. When I left there I decided to jump into the corporate catering world, working for Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and REI.

I absolutely LOVE being with Honest to Goodness now and the wonderful clients I serve every day!
