Get to know me better

I’m a warm, energetic and super curious chef who puts a lot of heart into my food, loves making people feel cared for through what I cook!

My career has taken me from fine-dining kitchens on land into the fast-paced, ever-changing world of yachting, where I’ve learned to be incredibly adaptable, resourceful and independent. I’ve worked across private yachts, freelance catering and high-pressure events, cooking everything from crew meals and family-style food to fine-dining menus, tasting experiences, canapés and desserts. I’m especially passionate about creating food that feels thoughtful and exciting while still being practical for the environment I’m working in. Along the way, I’ve built a strong foundation in menu development, provisioning, costing and managing large-scale food production, while always being the person who is happy to jump in wherever I’m needed.

A cooking secret...

My secret is cooking with instinct: understanding people, following curiosity, and putting genuine care, creativity and joy into every plate.
