I’m a hospitality educator, podcaster, creative entrepreneur, and mom—driven by one deep, personal truth: I know what it’s like to feel lonely, and I believe gathering can heal.
My journey didn’t begin with a clear plan—it began with a quiet ache. After living as a volunteer in Thailand, where hospitality was a daily rhythm and connection came easily, I returned home and felt an emptiness I couldn’t shake. What I thought was just my loneliness quickly revealed itself as a shared reality for so many adults craving meaningful connection.
That realization changed everything. I started creating opportunities to invite people in—not with perfection, but with presence. Over time, those gatherings evolved into hands-on charcuterie workshops, speaking engagements, a podcast, and national media appearances, all centered around one belief: that hospitality has the power to reconnect us to ourselves and to each other.
I’ve been invited to teach workshops for brands including Amazon and Pinterest, and I’ve shared my story and strategies on nationwide TV, in packed rooms, and across digital platforms. Whether I’m behind a mic or styling a board, I’m always working toward the same goal: helping people gather with purpose, beauty, and heart.
I’m here for those who want to live with intention, design spaces that invite connection, and redefine success through the lens of community. Let’s build a life and legacy of gathering well—together.
