I have been working in the housewares industry for 19 years, focusing on cookware, cutlery, bakeware and tools for 17 of those years. I am presently the Director of e-business for Meyer Corporation, and have been in this position for 4 years. My past experience has come from the buying side at Macy's and other department stores. I have also managed an outlet store chain focusing in housewares.

I am currently a "Gourmand" but have been in each Cookware Personality category at various stages of my life. I currently cook for two every night. I am not that good at following recipes but tend to start with a recipe and then add different spices and vegetables that suit our likes and dislikes. When eating out if I find a dish I like I will try to make that dish at home. It does not always turn out the same but is always edible, and sometimes better then the restaurant (even if I say so myself).

I am a wife, mother, and employee of Meyer Corporation; serving as the Sr. Sales Director for the Anolon, Circulon, and BonJour brands. I’ve worked for Meyer for over five years. I am also a certified Home Economist with an emphasis on Foods and Nutrition. I have a passion for cooking and seeing people enjoy good food -- it feeds my passion for selling our products.

Nothing pleases me more than to have family and friends gathered in the kitchen, all the burners going, and everyone working toward a common goal– it’s like a symphony. As a working mom, I rely on tried and true recipes for most of our meals, but I also enjoy experimenting and trying new techniques.

When I’m not working or in the kitchen, I relax by walking, reading, and gardening. I travel extensively for my job and I’ve had the privilege to visit many of our customers, both large and small, in some wonderful cities around the country.
