I grew up in the beautiful areas surrounding Seattle, Washington, USA, but I've lived in many countries, worked across cultures and traveled to most continents. My greatest asset to fellow travelers is that I’ve navigated a wide variety of circumstances. I’ve changed diapers on my lap on a plane, walked into a winery as a discerning taster, ensured my elderly mom had a clear path, snorkeled with turtles for hours and dined in embassies. As someone with celiac disease, I’ve been gluten-free long before it became a trend. Previously training chefs and being an accredited aromatherapist: farm-to-table is my wheelhouse. Twenty years ago, I published the cookbook, "Globally Gluten-Free" and have spent three decades traveling and navigating menus during times and in spaces where often little was labeled. While I specialize in gluten-free needs, I’m also well-versed in other dietary restrictions and attentive to accessibility issues (mobility, vision, neurodivergent, etc.). I’ve experienced “a little bit of this and a little bit of that” across the globe from on a budget to luxury.
