Her journey into professional cooking began after working in a corporate Human Resources job and dreaming about a life in the kitchen. In 2009, while still in HR, she started her blog, The Small Boston Kitchen. She later took a chance, quit her HR job, and attended culinary school. After culinary school, she started working alongside Richard, and “the two hit it off in every which way”.

Richard is the other half of The Skinny Beet duo, also a professionally trained chef.
