Growing in Columbia, I immersed myself in the hospitality and events sector while completing my degree at USC, all the while drawing from my family's rich heritage in the industry and their French roots. French food culture emphasizes the joy of gathering with family and friends, celebrating life around the table with delicious, savored meals that invite connection and conversation. These values have shaped my approach to life and community, inspiring me to honor tradition by showcasing local food and fostering togetherness through my other business Barrel and Vine Productions.

I'm passionate about designing events that engage our city’s chefs, farmers, and community members, celebrating the vibrant culture I cherish. My love for the outdoors and design also led to the creation of Mon Petit Chou Art and Design, where I craft home interiors, products, and cultivate gardens infused with nature's beauty. As a devoted wife, proud dog mom, and entrepreneur, I cherish the opportunity to share my creative journey and inspire others through art and community experiences.
