About the host

Host profile image
A proud University of Michigan alum (Go Blue!), I split my time between staying active and creative pursuits. You can often find me on the tennis court or searching for fresh powder on the ski slopes. At home, my passion is cooking; I love experimenting with new dishes, though my daughter remains my toughest and most skeptical food critic! My greatest love, however, is travel. I dedicate two months every year to exploring new corners of the globe, soaking in different cultures, and gathering inspiration for my next adventure—and my next meal.
