She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, Reuben, and rescue pup, Olive. However, she was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where her grandparents owned and operated Chinese restaurants. In the family restaurant and her mother’s kitchen is where she cultivated her deep love of food and feeding the people in her life.

Before making a name for herself in the food industry, she worked as an architectural and interior designer for many years. In 2017, she started this blog, Eat Cho Food, as a creative outlet to share thoughtful recipes, candid stories, and beautiful food photography.
