Get to know me better

Dedicated, curious and always respectful of the ingredient I am working with.

I have 10 years of experience in the kitchen, having worked in restaurants like Ode To The Elephants, Vianda and Mai Pen Rai. With a strong background with Thai & Vietnamese cooking, I also incorporate classical European techniques along with Puerto Rican and Latin into my cooking. I seek out cooking that feels fulfilling and homey while exploring new techniques and flavors. Dishes that feel like a warm hug that refills the soul. I'm always looking to work with locally sourced ingredients, understanding that the relationship between chef, farmer, butcher and fisherman is one intertwined.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Nurturing not just the body but the soul.

I learned to cook at...

Ode To The Elephants, a Thai restaurant located in Rincon.

A cooking secret...

Cooking with care and purpose. Even the simple onion can be elevated with care and patience.
