I enjoy creating playful, relatable, vulnerable content and I often use recipes to tell those stories.

My journey in culinary entrepreneurship has been exhilarating and scrappy. From learning to bake at age 8 to high school culinary team to founding ThunderCakes Bakery during my freshman year at Syracuse University... I have always held a “get in the kitchen and try it” approach. After earning my Masters in Entrepreneurship, I went off to study savory cuisine and mixology in France.

Upon my return, I launched a robust career as a Brand Marketer for industry giants like HelloFresh, BlueApron, and Uber Eats. And when I wasn’t at my laptop, I was at the stove, launching The Spred Catering Co. In the evenings and on weekends, I was curating dining experiences across NYC, which earned my first feature on Glamour's YouTube channel. It was my incredible experience with creative private catering that inspired my 2020 debut cookbook, "Early Enough," which demystifies brunch with 101 vibrant dishes and cocktail pairings, and is a love letter to gathering community over more than french toast.

Since then, I’ve been balancing my creative culinary endeavors with my corporate work, producing engaging culinary content for brands such as Haven's Kitchen, Food Network and Bon Appétit. Today, I craft content for the home cook, empowering them to confidently navigate the kitchen and beyond. With a commitment to celebration and representation, I invite others to join me on a journey of exploration, laughter, and self-discovery, both in and out of the kitchen.

Audience

In a 2023 survey to my community (sample size of 2,063 participants) , I learned that much of my audience is on a “journey back to themselves” and finds comfort and romance in thoughtful cooking as an act of returning.

This community

• has either always had or has recently discovered a joyous relationship with food.
  
• understands ingredients at a base level but wants to feel empowered to use them creatively.
  
• is curious and is armed with good instincts, but wants to hone their skills to fully trust their gut in the kitchen.
  
• read 2 to 3 fiction books a month, subscribe to several Substack newsletters and consume TikTok content voraciously
• prefers live events and will travel to meet new potential friends
• are always looking for trusted product recommendations for even the smallest purchases

My content is a loving nudge to try cooking something new and laugh while doing it…to feel at home while doing it… to explore a new playlist while doing it.
