Chef At Home in San Diego
Get to know me better
Passionate, creative chef specializing in using whole food, local, organic, seed- oil free ingredients, quality meats, and vibrant flavors.
Hi! I’m a San Diego–based personal chef passionate about creating meals that are both nourishing and deeply satisfying. I specialize in whole-food, local, organic, seed- oil free cooking with a focus on fresh flavor and quality ingredients.
My background includes working as a raw vegan and plant-based chef, so I’m well-versed in specialty diets—but I’m also comfortable cooking a wide range of cuisines, and catering to different diets. I went to school for Holistic Nutrition and spent time working for a Naturpathic Doctor, so I am knowledgeable about different diets and helping people meet their health goals through food and nutrition. I believe that cooking is much more than just delivering a tasty meal. It is an energy exchange- and I put love and care into every dish I make.
