Q: Where are you from?

A: Right here in town actually, Chattanooga has always been my home.

Q: What do you love about working at B&B?

A: I love our community of people. Getting to work with so many different local farmers, restaurants, and ingredients is so meaningful so getting the opportunity to do so while working side by side with some amazing people is truly a dream job for me.

Q: What has been your favorite recipe development project so far?

A: My absolute favorite has been my adventure into the world of viennoiserie. Perfecting and constantly working on my craft and coming up with new flavors is always fun.

Q: What drew you into pastry?

A: Honestly, I was not into it for the longest time. In culinary school it was my least favorite. Then I worked side by side a wonderful pastry chef and learned how fun the science and measurements could be! The same 5 base ingredients could be twisted and manipulated in an infinite number of ways.

Q: Tell us something most people don’t know about you.

A: I’m a huge dork for some candles.

Q: Favorite color?

A: Yellow! 

Q: Aside from B&B, which is your favorite local place to eat?

A: Hands down, the burgers at Tremont Tavern have my heart.

Q: Red or white?

A: Depends on the day, but typically red!

Q: Favorite cookie?

A: White chocolate macadamia, for sure.

Q: What are some of your hobbies or favorite things to do for fun?

A: I love to get outside as much as possible! Whether that be walking around the city taking in the sites or out in the middle of the woods gathered around a fire.
