After a post-collegiate stint at studying primate mating behavior, I taught high school biology and environmental science for 5 years. Now, instead of parenting 150 high school students a day, I focus on my own two wonderful children, various 4-legged pets, backyard chickens and quickly expanding vegetable garden.

When I’m not spending time with my family, I run What’s Cooking with Kids, a certified-green company that offers healthy and seasonal cooking classes to kids in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not only do my classes teach kids and their families to enjoy delicious home-made foods, but they also motivate families to use food and cooking to help those less fortunate.
