Get to know me better

Private chef trained in Ireland, I craft vibrant, seasonal dishes rooted in scratch cooking and warm, intentional hospitality.

After leaving my career as a sales engineer to attend culinary school in Ireland, I’ve fully embraced my passion for cooking and hospitality. My approach is rooted in seasonal, from-scratch cooking—often inspired by global flavors and vibrant ingredients. I love curating meals that feel elevated yet deeply personal, whether it’s an intimate dinner party or cozy weekly meal prep. Cooking for others is my joy, and I bring intention, warmth, and creativity to every table I serve. Outside the kitchen, you’ll find me exploring farmers markets, hosting friends, attending church and playing pickle-ball.
