She’s passionate about all things cooking and can often be found cooking for friends and family or looking through cookbooks in her spare time. As the Cafe Food and Beverage Manger, AJ is looking forward to creating a welcoming space where people can read, write, and build community while enjoying delicious food and drinks. When she’s not at the office, AJ can be found hanging with her beloved tuxedo cat Legs, doing hot yoga, or spending time with her many, many friends.
