Get to know me better

Dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences with fresh, seasonal ingredients and bold flavors.

From an early age, I was inspired by my father, a chef who once ran a small one-man restaurant. I often joined him in the kitchen, learning through observation and helping where I could. Those early days at his side gave me a foundation in cooking, a respect for how food connects people, and sparked a lifelong passion that continues to guide me today.

I later spent several years living in Mexico, where I refined my skills and opened a small restaurant. That experience taught me to be resourceful, to work with bold flavors, and to approach cooking with creativity. Today, I bring those lessons to life by designing menus that fit each client’s needs and preferences. Whether for a busy professional or a family, my focus is on keeping meals fresh, satisfying, and stress-free.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

about bringing comfort and joy through flavors that feel both familiar and elevated.

I learned to cook at...

the school of experience - years in kitchens, cooking for clients, and constantly refining my craft.

A cooking secret...

is cooking with intention - making sure every flavor has a purpose, every detail is cared for, and nothing feels rushed.
