Hello There
I’m laura
I’m a retired Forensic Scientist turned Chef, Blogger, Food Photographer, Cookbook Author, and CNS candidate.
With a degree in Physiology and Neuroscience and a passion for cooking, I launched Foodology Geek to teach you how to cook and eat better. I believe that food can heal our body and our soul. Bringing people together around the table is my love language.
A short update
Following my passion for cooking and teaching, I decided to pursue a master’s degree in clinical nutrition. I’ve been in the throws of trying to keep up with the blog and my schooling. I will graduate in December of 2025.
This year has been a lot of work but I cannot wait to start integrating my knowlege. I am specializing in intgrative health and herbal medicine. I will sit for the CNS exam in June of 2026.
Keep an eye out for my brand new course. Sign up for the waitlist so I can let you know as soon as it drops.

Where it all began
I’m a self-taught cook who has been saving recipes and cooking since I was about 8 years old. In case you were trying to do the math, this was before the Food Network existed.
I spent 18 years working as a DNA Criminalist and Cold Case Homicide Investigator. I loved this job and have been involved in solving many Cold Cases.
I left my career in Forensic Science at the end of 2018 to pursue my true passion for Cooking and Food Photography. Read more about finding the courage to leave my career.
