Most meaningful oyster: Cape May Salts. It was the one that turned the tide for me and turned the power on years ago. It worked like a tonic for my senses. I knew I had to chase that feeling and I've paid attention ever since.

Favorite oyster to shuck: Pink Moon Oysters

Dream oyster destination: PEI

Proudest oyster accomplishments to date:

1. First shuck: Cape May Salts. It's a tough cookie for a first timer, but you never forget your first.

2. Being part of the OMG community!

3. Becoming certified for Level 1 Oyster Ambassador!

Favorite thing about being an OMG member: Very glad to be part of this group of Oy-stars! The people and the knowledge sharing make my role as an advocate so meaningful. Looking forward to many future adventures together.
