Nickname: Cass or Cassie, but I prefer Cass.

Dream Job: An international food critic (and musician), able to travel the world, sample different cultures and their cuisine, and then write about what I liked and disliked, and what I would like to try again! I kind of do all of this now, just not for a paycheck

Favorite color: Purple
