It serves as prep space for her made-to-order boards, boxes, and cups. It is also where she hosts private "Boarding Schools" in which she teaches students the art of cheese and charcuterie styling. She is a food and lifestyle journalist, featured three times on CBS's Pittsburgh Today Live and have been promoted in publications including Shady Ave Magazine, Table Magazine, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, The Herald, and North Hills Monthly.
