Budgeting has always been part of my story—I grew up with a father who was an accountant, and then married an accountant. I quickly learned that numbers and money awareness were a natural part of my everyday life as I fed my family of eight. Feeding a big household means getting creative, planning, and making sure meals are both satisfying and affordable.
Now, I leverage my experience as the Cost Analyst at Easy Budget Recipes. I meticulously price ingredients so you can conquer dinnertime finances.
As the Graphic designer, I create visually stunning recipes to inspire you on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, newsletters, and more!
Expertise
My journey as a personal trainer and entrepreneur laid the perfect foundation for running a successful food blog. As a personal trainer, I managed my own business. I learned the value of discipline, planning, and motivating others to reach their goals. These skills taught me how to balance creativity with strategy. As the co-owner of Easy Budget Recipes, I bring my passion for health, my experience in leadership, and my love of creativity.
Experience
I bring real-world experience to Easy Budget Recipes. I played collegiate volleyball and ran track, giving me firsthand experience with athletic nutrition and meal planning. I am also a certified personal trainer, volleyball coach, and youth leader, with years of experience guiding clients, athletes, and young people in structured programs.
But perhaps my most significant leadership role has been managing my own family of eight. Keeping a large household running smoothly requires grocery budgeting, menu planning, and organized routines. I use my hands-on experience as a Graphic Designer and Newsletter Editor to create visually engaging, practical, and budget-conscious recipes for families everywhere.
