I have owned several pets, pet sat some exotic animals, and researched many other animals and what it would take to keep them happy and healthy in my spare time. I have owned: goldfish, various aquarium fish, beta fish, hermit crabs, dogs, ants, butterflies, chickens, and a sugar glider.

I have been cooking at home with my home chef mother and grandmother since I could walk, own an extensive number of cook books, have some minor experience in molecular gastronomy, and research new food recipes and combinations in my free time.

I am a model and have had extensive training classes from my agency on make up, hair, and fashion in the essence of what pairs well with what, and the basic fashion dos and don'ts.
