How old are your kids and how long have you lived in Westport? My kids are 6, 4.5 and 3. We moved here during COVID in August 2020.
How did you end up where you are now in terms of your job, or whatever passion project it is you might be doing? Completely by accident. I was postpartum with my third and craving a NYC-style chocolate chip cookie, but couldn’t find anything locally that hit the mark. So I made one. Baking also became a way to spend one-on-one time with my boys now that we had a new baby. My friends convinced me to sell the cookies and, as a joke (because my last name made for a great pun), I opened a bakery account on Instagram… the rest is history.

If you did not live where you do, where would you like to live? If I could take my entire family with me, I’d love to be in California. This includes my parents because I rely heavily on their childcare services.

If you weren’t doing what you are today, what might your career path might have been? I’m still a nurse practitioner by day, so probably that.
