About

I’m a professional chef with over seven years of experience working in restaurants, where I built a strong foundation in technique, organization, and consistency under pressure. Over the past year, I’ve transitioned into working as a private chef and caterer, bringing that same level of discipline and attention to detail into people’s homes and events.
