If a brand’s ideal consumer is one who is strongly engaged in the purchase decision, likely to be moved by a product that performs well, and very motivated to share her positive story with friends, then FAMs are extremely attractive targets.” (Source: Media Post)

I’m a food allergy mama

As the mom of a toddler with 6+ food allergies, I know how isolating it can be to be “that mom” — the one who asks a million questions about what snacks are being served or which ingredients are being used. I also know how time-consuming it can be to find safe products and accommodating spaces for my little guy. This is why I founded AllergyBites, with the mission to be THE go-to spot for allergy-friendly eats & treats, places & spaces.

Psst! I was featured in Datenight Babysitting’s Interview with a Mamapreneur series. Feel free to give it a read and get to know me a little better! 

I’m a writer

My professional writing experience includes more than 10 years of content creation: blogging, copywriting, content writing, editing, and managing social media platforms. During this time, I have worked for a number of startups, helping young companies ramp up their content in the form of blogs, newsletters, social channels, and even video. Past achievements include:

Topics I have written about range from travel to insurance to beauty to dining out to Japanese culture to mom life and, of course, food allergies. The following publications have featured my articles on the topic of food allergies:

I’m a foodie

I’m one of those annoying people who would happily fill up your newsfeed with pictures of my food. I’ve been known to tear up when taking a first bite of something really, really delicious. I get excited about new foods, new products and new adventures. I’m equally passionate about instilling my love of food in my child. One of my goals in creating AllergyBites was to help other food allergy families find joy in eating food again while trying to take the fear out of food.

I think it’s really important to give back to the community

I’ve previously partnered with a local food allergy therapist to hold a free talk about raising our food-allergic children without a fear of food. I’ve pledged to donate $1 of every sale to Walk for Andrea, and I’ve volunteered my copyediting/writing services to CAAIF to help them prepare for a fundraising event. I’m currently doing what I can to bring a version of this super cool Australian fundraiser to Canada.

Psst! Want to join our committee of volunteers? Drop me a line, and let’s chat about what skills you’ll bring to the table.
