My journey took a delicious detour.
Some journeys aren’t planned – they are felt.
After earning a Ph.D., teaching at the university level, and publishing academic work, I followed a quieter truth: the moments that brought me the most joy were the ones shared around food — when people tasted something handmade and felt genuinely delighted.
Chocolate became my language for connection.
What began as a passion shared with friends, students, and family slowly grew into something larger — and deeply personal.
