I am so excited to be a part of Spoon. From a young age, I always loved food. My dad is the most amazing cook I know and exposed me to so many different kinds of wonderful tasting foods. Outside of food, my passions include connecting with people and writing. I am from Vail, AZ, right outside of Tucson. At GCU, I am studying Communications with a minor in Professional Writing.
