  • Description

    Hi there! We’re friends Andria and Emily. We met this past summer working seasonally at a backcountry lodge in Alaska and became quick friends through long days of shared work, good food, and plenty of laughter.

    Andria is from sunny San Diego. She has a passion for baking, especially croissants, which are genuinely some of the best you’ll ever have. She brings creativity, care, and joy into the kitchen and loves sharing food with others.

    Emily is from Kansas and grew up in a rural area, which shaped her love for the outdoors, hands-on work, and community. She enjoys hiking, reading, and getting to know people over a cup of tea or while working side by side. A lifelong learner, she’s currently in a career transition and diving deeper into cooking, excited to learn new skills and contribute wherever she lands.

    Together, we’re curious, hardworking, and excited to connect with new people, learn from shared experiences, and be part of a welcoming environment.
