I am a culinary school graduate as of may 2024, looking to expand new opportunities beyond line cooking. I was a manager at 17 until last October and am now a line cook trying new horizons. I have loved cooking since I was twelve, I would make three course dinners for family friends and put them on myself. I remember one of my starter I made was crab stuffed mushrooms and I was so proud of myself for using ingredients I did not even eat at the time. If you would give me the opportunity to work for you, I would so greatly appreciate the opportunity.

For me, cooking is...

Everything I have known and wanted to do since a very young age.

I learned to cook at...

Home and through Great Lakes culinary institute.

A cooking secret...

Experimenting with new flavor profiles and never backing down from a new task.

Sandra was professional, timely and had an amazing menu. She made the experience seamless for a 12 girl bachelorette party. I would definitely recommend!

Sandra was absolutely awesome! She sent a great recommendation and also accommodated a couple specific requests I had. She was on time and did a great job prepping beforehand and preparing on site. Her presentation was fantastic. Her service was top notch. She didn’t rush the evening which we appreciated big time! She was a delight. I highly recommend her for your private dinners! Thanks for giving my wife and I an evening to remember!
