Get to know me better

Nationally experienced private chef, now Phoenix-based, delivering The TRY Experience™—inclusive dining where all ways of eating align equally.

I’m a nationally experienced private chef and nutrition consultant, currently based in the Phoenix area, offering The TRY Experience™ — a chef-led dining philosophy where plant-based, vegetarian, and traditional eaters are all equally considered at the same table.

My work spans multiple regions and high-visibility culinary environments, including media-adjacent projects and community-centered dining programs, which has shaped my ability to serve diverse audiences with intention and care. Rather than asking guests to choose a “diet,” I design thoughtfully adaptable menus that honor different preferences without sacrificing flavor, culture, or comfort.

I now bring this approach to Phoenix-area clients through curated in-home dining, weekly meal programs, and interactive cooking experiences, creating meals that connect people across backgrounds, lifestyles, and ways of eating.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is a way to bring people together — designing thoughtful, inclusive meals so everyone feels catered seen and satisfied while dining.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook through a self-taught journey refined by hands-on experience alongside classically trained and Michelin-influenced chefs.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is cooking with love and intent — every dish is prepared thoughtfully, with care for the people it’s meant to serve.
