My husband Shawn and I are both lucky enough to be self-employed doing work that we're passionationatea about. He's a photographer who captures life in a way that makes the world look like an interesting and beautiful place. I am a baker and manager of our community event space, The Central Collective. Being able to do what I love and run a space for people to gather is the best job in the world... until there's a global pandemic.
