Who Am I?
Hi, I’m the baker behind NOMS—and I’ve been in the kitchen for as long as I can remember.
Some of my earliest memories are standing on a chair at the counter, helping my mom cook dinner, stirring bowls, tasting everything, and learning that food is about so much more than eating. It’s about care, comfort, and connection. As I grew older, cooking became my responsibility, my pride, and eventually my passion. I didn’t just love the food—I loved the process, the timing, the details, and the way a good bite could make someone pause and smile.
Baking, in particular, stole my heart.
I went on to pursue formal training in Baking and Pastry Arts, earned a degree in Business Management, and have worked professionally in bakeries, restaurants, assisted living facilities, and culinary education for over a decade. I’ve maintained my ServSafe Manager certification since 2005, and I believe deeply in doing things the right way—safely, thoughtfully, and with intention.
Mission Statement:
At NOMS, our mission is to help life slow down—one bite at a time.
We create wholesome, thoughtfully made baked goods that invite comfort, connection, and nostalgia. Inspired by simpler days and grandmother’s kitchens, every recipe is crafted with care, patience, and honest ingredients. Our goal is to offer food that does more than satisfy hunger—it evokes memory, warmth, and a sense of home. At NOMS, each bite is meant to be savored, shared, and felt.

Inspiration:
"I dislike serving a wedge of pie or cake to a guest, because the wedge is a fractional part of a whole and the implication, to me, is that I see my customer as fractional. So, I would instead make multiple individual pies or cakes, perhaps 4-5 inches in diameter.
A dinner roll is not a fractional part of something greater; it is a complete whole made just for you and no one else. You don't have to break it and share it with a community of others. It's polite and proper. A dinner roll is damn civilized. It shuns community and exists for the exclusivity of you."
