Meet the Wholefully Team
Cassie // Founder and CEO
Cassie is a holistic nutritionist, cookbook author, and all-around food lover. She grew up cooking dinner with her parents every evening, and her passion for home cooking has been strong ever since. Cassie is the author of two published cookbooks (Cooking with Greek Yogurt and Chia, Quinoa, Kale, Oh My!) and dozens of recipes published in major magazines and newspapers. Cassie has been sharing her award-winning recipes on Wholefully since 2010. She loves dark chocolate, homegrown tomatoes, motorsports, and anything that sparkles. She lives in Indiana with her family on a small homestead.
Julie // Chief Operating Officer
Julie got her start as a food writer in 2009 while she was earning a degree in food science and engineering. She spent several years as a food writer and recipe developer before transitioning to working exclusively for Wholefully in 2016. She loves reading, crafting, color, red pandas, and a good jumpsuit or romper. Julie lives in the Twin Cities with her family.
Danielle // Editorial Assistant and Community Manager
Danielle has a background working in the restaurant and bar industry, and that passion and expertise for food translate into everything she does. She is that foodie friend you call whenever you need a recipe, restaurant, or cookbook recommendation. Danielle is an avid and adventurous home cook who lives in Virginia with her food-loving husband, two still-learning-to-love food kiddos, and their perpetually waiting-to-be-fed pets.
Steve and Yvonne // Food Videographers
As a husband and wife team, Steve and Yvonne have nearly a decade of experience crafting high-quality recipe videos. Their passion for good food comes through the screen when you watch any of their videos. Combine Yvonne’s decades of culinary expertise and food styling experience with Steve’s videography and tech wizardry, and you’ve got a dynamic duo that crafts video experiences you can taste.
Alison // Food Content Creator
Alison has worn several hats (some at the same time) since founding her foodie business in 2014: recipe developer, writer, photographer, and videographer. This Chicago-based mother of two children, four oversized cats, and fiancé to one New Jersey transplant enjoys tending her gardens, experimenting in the kitchen, traveling adventures, and, of course, a top-tier nap.
