About Me
I'm a culinary professional with over 10 years of diverse kitchen experience spanning fast-casual restaurants, food trucks, industrial kitchens, and grocery store delis. I thrive in high-pressure, team-oriented environments and deliver consistent, high-quality dishes.
I'm skilled in accommodating various dietary needs—including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian menus—with creativity and precision. My adaptability and fast-learning nature allow me to excel in face-paced kitchens while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality.
I'm passionate about providing exceptional culinary experiences that exceed expectations and eager to contribute to any kitchen's legacy of excellence through thoughtful, elevated cuisine.
My Story
From an early age, the kitchen felt like home, a place where curiosity met creativity and simple ingredients transformed into moments of joy. I remember being drawn not just to the act of cooking, but to the warmth and connection it fostered around the table.
Over the years, that childhood fascination deepened into a profound passion—one that shaped my career and nourished my soul. Each new dish became a canvas, every meal an opportunity to share a part of myself. Through professional growth across diverse culinary environments, I’ve honed my skills and expanded my repertoire, yet my love for food remains rooted in its power to bring people together.
Cooking is more than a career for me—it’s a lifelong devotion, an evolving art, and a heartfelt way to connect with others.
