Cooking to me is very therapeutic. It’s gotten me through some of the toughest seasons of my life. I cook with my heart on my apron!

I am a home chef turned professional. I am completely self taught with years of experience in cooking for large families, catering for intimate gatherings to now hosting private parties for others. I believe in healing people through cooking. I am a chef, founder of it’s actually co, author, creator and digital media marketing powerhouse with over 8 years of experience. I love storytelling through food. Asian and Mediterranean cuisine is my wheelhouse, but I love a good challenge!
