My work is inspired by a long relationship with food and literature — two things that have shaped how I see and understand the world.

Outside of work, I garden, cook, go antiquing, spend too much time with my cats, and drink martinis. Some of my favorite pieces of literature include Wallace Stegner’s Angle of Repose, Marguerite Duras’ The Easy Life, Thalia Ho’s Wild Sweetness, and Wallace Stevens’ poem “Sunday Morning.”
