How old are your kids and how long have you lived in the area? I have 3 kids. Grace (8), Henry (5) and Archie (1). I grew up Westport and Manhattan and finished high school in Weston, where we live now.
How did you end up where you are now in terms of your job, or whatever passion project it is you might be doing? I love creating, and I absolutely love food. I am a classically trained chef. I studied culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University after leaving fashion school because I loved cooking so much. I then worked at Blue Hill at Stone Barnes for a summer and moved to California to work at a large catering company, where I had the best time before moving home to CT. I realized I prefer to work for myself and create my own projects that have purpose, which initially landed me here at Hemma kitchen. Hemma allows me to serve the community with nourishment and also create beautiful things that I am proud of.
