I’m a Florida native who moved to Chicago after college. I’ve made my home here and while we don’t have any immediate plans to move, I look forward to making a move at some point in the future to a location where we can have more outdoor space.
I share Corey’s passion for urban agriculture, though I tend to not get my hands as dirty as he does. My interest in growing our own food is more closely related to my love of cooking and eating. I learned to cook from my mom and have always had a passion for food, both highbrow and lowbrow. I love ‘putting up’ our annual harvest of vegetables, turning them into pickles, relishes, and chutneys that we share with our friends and family as gifts through the colder months of the year. Some of my favorite dishes to make are homemade pizza, toter-tot-chos (nachos with tater tots instead of chips), and hand-packed burgers fired on our backyard grill.

Though I don’t go see as many live concerts as I used to, going to shows is one of my favorite past times, and I love exploring, listening to, and collecting new music in a range of genres, from ‘indie rock’ to experimental, to R&B and dance music. Whenever we’re at home, there’s music playing – we’ve even got speakers out in the backyard that are wired to our stereo so that we can enjoy music outdoors, and we keep an iPod in Silas’ room attached to a speaker base so he can listen to music as well.
I also really like cleaning and enjoy living in a clutter-free and well ordered home. I’m kind of the opposite of a hoarder, regularly throwing out items that aren’t absolutely essential to our lives.
I currently work as a project manager in the field of brand consulting, which provides me with a flexible work schedule, allowing me to spend time with Silas every day before and after work. I look forward to being able to spend as much time with your child as possible, showing them all of the great things Corey and I love about Chicago.
