Hi! I'm a cook and birth doula in-training based in Berkeley, California.
I've been a professional cook for over five years. My roots in the kitchen began early when my parents transformed the garage of my childhood home into a wood-fired bakery. I spent a large part of my adolescence playing pretend-bakery in the front yard; eventually transitioning into working in the real bakery in my early teens. I believe that cooking and eating are essential parts of holistic wellness, and am largely informed by my Ashtanga yoga practice, meditation and mindfulness, and growing up watching my Italian parents and grandparents cook. I prepare meals using organic, high-quality, and local ingredients whenever possible. Leaning towards the Mediterranean, my style is ever-evolving as I grow, travel, and continue to learn.
