Get to know me better

I have always had a passion for cooking, with an emphasis on classical techniques, I am currently in culinary school and learning as much as I can.

I have about 5 years of experience in restaurants and the private sector, once I learned about the mother sauces it really took things up a notch for me. I am good at preparing things in bulk and accommodating specific dietary requests. Back in 2024, I was taken on my first private event and I discovered right then that this was how I wanted to make a living as opposed to restaurant work. I am more than happy to adjust my menus to accomodate a client at any given time, and I will drive wherever I need to in order to arrive on time.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is an expression of an artistic voice and a way of conveying emotions; a deep, rich sauce can say things my words couldn't.

I learned to cook at...

I have been fortunate enough to learn from Sean Morrell, I attribute most of my knowledge to him and the Al Pollard culinary program at VWCC.

A cooking secret...

I do all of my prep separately to avoid cross contamination and try to make my food beautiful and soulful. I like using bright ingredients often.
