Stephanie Cold

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, then moved to Miami for undergrad. After college I relocated to Denver where I worked in the service industry before moving to Chicago for graduate school. I have lived in Logan Square for the last 10 years and I love the city of Chicago. I am passionate about learning from and exploring other cultures. I believe food is a pleasurable experience of art, history, and culture all wrapped in one. I find joy and meaning in compelling stories, cooking, growth fostering relationships, music, moving my body in ways that feel good, travel, connecting with community, art, self-expression, and nature. I am passionate about animal and human rights. I spent my youth deeply involved as a practitioner of the arts and now I have a career as a psychotherapist. I am still a lover of the arts and performing and creating is deeply important to me. It is truly a part of my identity.
