    “Where to next, little gypsy?” That’s what my father always greets me with at the airport upon my return from one place or another. I am a photographer, a teacher, and a baker when I’m stressed out. My passion is teaching photography to kids in “not-so-great” situations to help them realize their purpose for themselves, their families, and their communities. I’m still figuring out how to do that and pay rent. In my travels, I’ve learned two (among many other) major things: 1) Food is vital and definitive to people and cultures. 2) Hospitality runs deep. Breaking bread with a complete stranger holds more power in stopping wars than we are led to believe. These principles have placed in me the love of cooking and sharing it with others. It is therapy, it is grace, it is relationship, and it is love. And, oh yeah, I love photography and the art of telling story.
