Get to know me better
Deeply passionate culinarian. Standards driven.
I am a culinary professional with over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, having worked alongside renowned chefs and hospitality groups across a variety of high-end dining environments. My career includes time with Harper’s Group at Upstream, participation in the opening team of BLT Steak Charlotte under the guidance of acclaimed chef Laurent Tourondel, and experience with Dinex at Café Boulud Palm Beach.
In addition to my fine dining background, I have extensive experience managing banquets and large-scale events through the country clubs where I have worked, developing a strong understanding of both exceptional cuisine and seamless guest experiences.
My culinary philosophy is rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and quality. Whenever possible, I source produce from local farms and build menus around fresh, regional ingredients at their peak. I believe that great food begins with great products, and I strive to create memorable dining experiences that showcase both culinary craftsmanship and the best of what each season has to offer.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
My knowledge base, apart from my passion.
I learned to cook at...
Home, around very strong southern women. It was later refined through schooling and high end kitchens.
A cooking secret...
Patience. Some things take time and shouldn’t be rushed.
