My name is Vicki Cove. As a Baking enthusiast currently navigating my academic journey to complete my B.S. in Dental Hygiene. My days are a mix of studying, baking, and living the joyful chaos of training out 1-year old puppy, Shish-Kebab.
I am also a sucker for adventure and the thrill of exploring new cultures and landscapes across the globe. My fiance, being a world History major I’m constantly learning new things. Through our love of music and food, we hope to continue our world travels.
