I am a chef/instructor at Tablespoon Cooking School where I teach cooking classes to the general public as well as lead corporate team building events.  My husband Evan and I love to travel - especially to visit the many foreign exchange students we hosted in their home countries.  I am passionate about food and love telling the stories of Cincinnati's past heritage, its amazing chefs and families who are upholding those traditions,  and its current renaissance as a foodie destination. 

It all begins with passion. Passion for people, food, and our city. I have been part of the Cincinnati Food Tours team since 2012. I am a retired third grade teacher and live in Mt. Auburn, not far from Findlay Market. I most love researching the unique architecture, history, and German heritage of Cincinnati. Being a tour guide is the perfect way for me to share all my favorite things. I can’t wait to teach you the stories of our history and culinary experiences.

I fell in love with Cincinnati from the moment we moved here in 2020, primarily due to the fantastic food scene!  Sharing the history, the culture and the food of this amazing city led me to Cincinnati Food Tours and becoming a food tour guide.  I live in the heart of Over The Rhine and take great joy in showing others all that the city has to offer.
