Get to know me better

Passionate about cooking and creating special memories for guest from being an all around from florals, event set up and more

I’m a professional chef with over 10 years of experience, and my culinary journey began at the age of 15, when I started taking baking and cake decorating classes. After graduating from high school, I pursued my passion at the Art Institute of Santa Monica, where I studied Baking and Pastry Arts in 2012.

Since then, my path in the culinary world has taken me to many different places, each one adding new skills, techniques, and inspiration to my craft. My expertise spans cakes and cake design, baking, sushi, American cuisine, Latin cuisine, and beyond — always driven by a passion for creativity and continuous learning.
