About

As a certified taster, educator, and judge, I have spent the past ten years enjoying hand crafted small batch chocolate; learning cacao farming, the harvesting process, and how it is finally made into something delicious. Through a series of connections and being at the right place at the right time, I found myself as a chocolate judge for a prestigious awards association. Over the course of this decade I have enjoyed many activities including chocolate pairings and chocolate making classes, chocolate shop and factory tours. When I lived in Brooklyn I hosted chocolate tastings and anywhere I traveled, I would seek out deliciously made chocolate. My admiration for the craft and chocolate cravings have taken me to Perugia Italy, San Francisco, Seattle, South Florida, Japan, upstate New York and all over New York City. While in graduate school I did extensive research on the chocolate/cacao supply chain’s sustainability challenges. I continue to question what an equitable industry for chocolate could look like. In the meantime, I host online chocolate experiences to share my knowledge and passion for craft that is thousands of years old and sell chocolate themed products.
