STAFF INTRODUCTION #1: Aubrie!
Hello! I’ve been working at the Hearty Olive since December of 2023. I chose to work here because I already loved trying a whole bunch of foods with interesting and complex flavors– hence my favorite balsamics being Cucumber Melon and Cinnamon Pear! As for our finest oils, my favorites are definitely Basil, Pesto and Toasted sesame :) I also enjoy mixing and matching the oils and balsamics for unique flavors.
When I’m not working Tuesdays and Wednesdays at The Hearty Olive, I’m working on my illustration business, Purple Kitten Studios! My main subjects of my work are animals, fantasy creatures, and anime/video game characters! I set up my booth of keychains, pins, prints and stickers at lots of anime and gaming conventions!
In my free time, I love going for nature hikes, trying out new snacks, watching animated films, and going to collectible stores with friends! My favorite things to collect are stuffed animals and cozy sweaters. I also have a black cat named Ani, and a Tuxedo cat named Mitsi– cats have always been my favorite animals! I also enjoy a LOT of different kinds of music; the decade doesn’t necessarily matter.
I’m excited for you to swing by The Hearty Olive! We’ll have a good chat, and I’ll make sure to get you hooked on the Cucumber Melon Balsamic :)
