I am 17 and a Jr. at San Clemente High School. I play basketball and lacrosse for the school and also play club lacrosse. I have always loved to bake and make people happy through the gift of sweet treats. When I was 13 years old I was talking to my dad about how much fun and joy baking brings to me, so we thought why not bring my love of baking and your tummy into play? We created Lovey To My Tummy to allow me to bake and make people happy at the same time.
