I’m the founder and president of Amazing Edibles Catering, an award-winning Chicago company that has spent three decades bringing people together at “bread-breaking events.” My mission is to foster connection to create community, and I’m proud of the amazing team that lives our core values of being Hard Working, Thoughtful, Problem Solving, and Team Driven. Together, we’ve served more than a million meals while creating experiences that help people connect in meaningful ways.
When the pandemic paused in-person events, I used that challenge as an opportunity to innovate. I launched Boxperience, a company that helps leaders and organizations build relationships remotely through curated culinary and gifting experiences. Each box is a customized invitation to share food, conversation, and connection — a creative solution for staying engaged in a world where the traditional lunch or dinner meeting no longer worked.
As a lifelong entrepreneur and mentor, I’ve had the privilege of serving in leadership roles with the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), including Global Leadership Committee member, Chicago Chapter President, Accelerator Chair, and Global Champion for Women of EO. I’ve chaired global conferences on entrepreneurial leadership and was honored as one of Chicago’s Top 100 Titans of Industry (2024). I also serve on nonprofit boards supporting women, children, and education, and I’m a contributing author to Lead Like a Woman: Tenacious. Whether through my companies, coaching, or volunteer work, I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs lead with purpose, generosity, and heart — because the best businesses are built on connection, creativity, and community.
