When it comes to helping parents learn how to cook for themselves and their families, I am all in. I’m strongly motivated by the belief that cooking should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their backgrounds. It is my mission to break down any barriers that block families from making the journey into the kitchen an enjoyable experience. 

I believe that cooking our own family meals (without restrictive diet culture mentalities) allows us to improve our connection with the food we eat. As an anti diet nutritionist in the kitchen, I’ve witnessed firsthand how gaining confidence in the kitchen can lead to delicious meals and pave the way for a happy and healthy life. 

I’ll never forget a family cooking class I taught back in 2015, when a young boy told me how much fun he had in the class. His parents felt as though they didn’t have time to teach him to cook and he was not comfortable asking them to teach him. He wrote this in his survey: 

I was so moved and I have saved that comment to remind me everyday why I do what I do. It represents that sense of inclusion, comfort, and fun I aim to put into my work every single day. Cooking is for everyone and every family deserves the support to make it happen.

I hope to join you in your kitchen soon and see what we can come up with together.
