Get to know me better

Plant-based chef blending Southern flavor and holistic wellness to nourish the body, uplift the spirit, and inspire mindful living through food.

I’m a professionally trained plant-based chef with a passion for creating vibrant, flavorful meals that support whole-body wellness. Inspired by the idea of eating as we would in the Garden of Eden, my cooking is rooted in compassion — for the body, the planet, and every bite we enjoy. From weekly meal prep to private chef experiences, I tailor each dish to nourish and delight. Whether you’re plant-curious or fully vegan, I’m here to make your food journey simple, satisfying, and deeply intentional.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

a sacred act of love and healing — a way to nourish the body, connect with purpose, and serve others through intentional, flavorful food.

I learned to cook at...

home — a self-taught cook who mastered holiday meals and meal prep before enrolling in the Plant-Based Program at Auguste Escoffier for refinement.

A cooking secret...

is cooking with intention — infusing every dish with love, balance, and bold, nourishing flavors that speak to the soul.
