I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I’ve seen every episode of Star Trek (told you, nerd!). And food. Did I mention food? Cooking it, eating it, just talking about food – it all works for me. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese.

My husband Mike, kids Javi, Ro & Soleil, and pup Tag (my boys!) are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded, which is only fair because I’m pretty sure they’d say the same thing about me. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something is that I want to share with you.

Aaaand, in addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!
