Get to know me better

I am a passionate private chef with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants, artisanal bakeries, and innovative plant-based kitchens.

Within the past 7 years, I have honed my expertise in high-end kitchen environments. I have lead a new restaurant team to Michelin and James Beard nominations, and have worked in multiple Michelin-starred kitchens and artisanal bakeries. These roles have taught me fantastic interpersonal skills - how to

problem solve, communicate and work well under pressure. These kitchens have also taught me discipline to thrive in the self- motivated environment that is required for a private chef. The main motivation for my culinary journey is and has always been a deep passion for cooking and feeding people with the best and freshest ingredients possible.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

My life's passion and something that still makes me curious and gives me joy even after many years of it as my career.

I learned to cook at...

The Culinary Institute of America in the Napa valley, before heading to New York to refine my expertise in high level kitchens.

A cooking secret...

To prioritize fresh local ingredients, and seasoning at every step of a recipe.
