While working as a volunteer in Nepal, she had time on her hands and spent many hours researching the raw and living foods diet on the internet, gradually adding in as many fresh, live foods to her diet as she could. Upon her return to Chicago she decided to change her profession to align her life with the values she has steadily incorpoated into her personal life. She has since graduated from the Living Light Culinary Arts Institute and now shares her culinary creations with delighted family and friends as well as clients. She can be found working as a live foods chef at the popular Chicago Diner.
