Get to know me better

Passionate about food, and dedicated to making sure the guesst have a memorable experience.

Since a young age I've spent the majority of my free time in the kitchen. My mom taught me at a young age how to cook. After high school I attended Le Cordon Bleu, where I acquired my culinary degree. I've been working in restaurants for the past 15 years. I've worked in all sorts of restaurants ranging from upscale white table cloth to casual family dining. I have experience in personalized menu writing, special dietary cooking (gluten free, dairy and egg free, paleo.), catering, and specialized cooking classes. Some of my work experience includes Aerie lounge at the grand traverse resort, Amical, Bostwick lake Inn, Watermark country club, and Peninsula grill.
