Fun Facts

Herbalism Student

Always an avid gardener with a strong interest in healing and herbs, I decided to further my education with a monthly course at Rappahannock’s own Green Comfort School of Herbal Medicine. It been wonderful learning about the body’s systems and each magical herb can best help heal.

Creative Consultant

When I moved to the country full time I starting helping county residents with social media, brainstorming big ideas, and other projects. Soon after, I realized I needed a title to sum up everything I was doing and came up with ‘creative consultant’ and added ‘for office – craft – food & wine – life’ to my business card figuring that would just about cover just about everything. While my role at CWR keeps me busy, I’m still able to take on a few projects. The coffee shop next door is the perfect place for meetings before I start work.

Baker Extraordinaire

I am the unofficial baker of the group and often bring in freshly baked goods to share with everyone in the office. I love baking classics that honor my Swedish ancestry, but my greatest baking joy is when I tweak an old favorite into something fantastic! Sweet and savory, I like all types of baking and cooking, but chocolate is one of my basic food groups.
