On a regular basis Kim treats our office to homemade baked goods and while bringing homemade baked goods is a pretty awesome thing by itself, what really sets it apart is that Kim always brings a gluten free option for members of our team with this food allergy. From awesome brownies to chocolate cakes, Kim makes everyone’s day in the Garden Suite brighter with her thoughtful gesture.
