I’ve had my hands in clay and my stomach full of veggies for nearly three decades. I’m obsessed with creating functional stoneware pottery, filling it with delicious vegan food and feeding those I love. I’m an only child, born and raised in Southeastern, CT by two incredible parents. I started eating a vegetarian diet during high school. 

After graduating from high school I spent a decade in Montreal, Canada where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree, became Vegan and worked for The Jane Goodall Institute Canada. I volunteered, working with retired biomedical research chimpanzees at The Fauna Foundation, and discovered my love for clay at a community studio. Working for two esteemed chimpanzee advocacy organizations closely aligned with my ethical choice to live a vegan lifestyle, and my activism around animal rights grew.
