Tell us about yourself

As a child, I grew up in the kitchen. My mother, at one point, was a chef in the ‘70s in a small vegetarian restaurant in the west village, and my dad used to take me to pick wild berries in the hills of upstate NY. I thought all children sat in big pots in the kitchen while their mother cooked. It was something we did as a family, and I always made pies for friends for their thanksgiving dinners, and one day I decided to try and sell my pie, and people came back for more I love it when people enjoy the food that I make.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Right now, my biggest accomplishment is getting started.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

1. Speak to a professional.
