I’m all about blending my love for cooking and travel, with budgeting as my secret weapon! After all, exploring the world with my kids wouldn’t be possible without it.
This mix lets me and my family explore the world together, turning every journey into inspiration for my culinary creations.
This expertise shines through in my role as recipe developer, photographer, and production manager at Easy Budget Recipes.
Expertise
I’ve been in the management, operations, and strategy game for over 13 years, working with projects like Food Folks and Fun, Posh Plates, and The Cozy Fork to keep things running smoothly. I’m the one behind the scenes, ensuring there’s always something new and exciting on the menu, from tasty recipes to eye-catching food styling.
Experience
Outside my recipe websites, I have a solid educational background, thanks to my almost ten years as a teacher and two teaching degrees.
This experience makes me great at breaking down recipes into easy, actionable steps anyone can follow. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, my recipes are designed to be straightforward, fun, and easy to dive into.
