Get to know me better

I take pride in everything that I do.

My cooking style is inspired by my journey to who I am now. The Caribbean gave birth to my style of cooking. I traveled to New York and began my Professional Career. I studied at Monroe College, where I received an Associate in Culinary Arts and was hired at the college shortly after graduating. I worked and trained with great Chefs, who have extensive experience in the culinary field while developing my unique cuisine. I gain knowledge and cooking techniques from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America while working at Monroe College. The ingredients, techniques, and cultural understanding I obtained during these years; allows me to create meals from various cuisine with a Caribbean twist. I enjoy working with ingredients that I can be proud of. My menus contain vegetables and protein that are locally sourced. My goal is always to bring passion to my food and service. Interacting with people is a passion and is incalculable. My job history as Culinary Director, Purchaser, and Professor provides me with the skill to share a plethora of knowledge.
